Printworks London has been awarded a grant from Arts Council England s Culture Recovery Fund following a complaints review.
The news broke on the venue s Twitter account, 18th December, with a series of posts explaining the decision not to award the parent organisation money had been overturned.
The application to the Arts Council Culture Recovery Fund was made by Broadwick Live, which owns Printworks, The Drumsheds and Exhibition in London, in addition to Manchester s Mayfield Depot.
However, following a review via Arts Council England s official complaints procedure we’re delighted to announce that the original decision has been overturned and we’ve now been awarded a grant. Printworks London (@Printworks LDN) December 18, 2020
Died: October 13, 2020. CHRIS Killip, who has died aged 74, was a pioneering documentary photographer, whose depictions of working-class communities in the north of England during the 1970s and 1980s captured a part of British society in the process of being marginalised or wiped out completely. Taken in vivid black and white, Killip’s images were a crucial counterpoint to the Thatcherite claim that there was no such thing as society. Images of the Tyneside shipyards captured great hulks towering over redbrick terraces. Workers coming off shift eye the camera with a mixture of suspicion and defiance. A skinhead youth scrunched up on a wall looks to be in despair.
