CREATE09 Festival launches in London
A cultural partnership across five London boroughs
The CREATE 09 festival is underway in London and runs from June 20 - August 2.
CREATE is the cultural partnership of the London boroughs of Greenwich, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest. The five boroughs are working together with leading venues, cultural organisations and festivals to develop CREATE into an internationally significant festival and a permanent annual feature in the cultural calendar leading up to and following 2012. The CREATE partnership extends to developing a range of year round arts activity, arts policy and partnership development.
This year marks the start of a series of cross-borough commissions and exciting new partnerships. These include a new music festival Young London: Into Music programmed and produced by young creatives from the five host boroughs and participatory art works from major local artists in parks, gardens and on the streets.
Other new developments include the Barbican commissioning new music, theatre and art events across the five boroughs, a major new comedy festival East by South East , launching this year and led by the Hackney Empire ; events to mark London 2012’s Open Weekend and the newly opened Whitechapel Gallery .
People of all ages, abilities and backgrounds are invited to take part in CREATE09.
