Poems written by members of Enfield Poets for the Festival of Industry have been curated in words and sound on the Poetic Voices website.
The Festival of Industry – a blockbuster cultural and capacity building programme funded by the Arts Council’s Place Partnership initiative – officially opens on 21 July 2023 at Dugdale Arts Centre.
The Festival of Industry programme will celebrate:
- Enfield’s industrial heritage and explore its future industrial identity through specialist art commissions, participatory workshops, open studios, exhibitions, public artworks
- an immersive museum project and community theatre co- produced with local people
- deliver amazing creative activities to Enfield residents and create a step change for the borough’s creative sector through skills injection
- provide a better connection with national-level partners delivering exemplar Arts and Health, Regeneration and Community Co-production projects.
The Festival of Industry will be delivered in collaboration with Enfield’s creative sector and in partnership with Dugdale Arts Centre (DAC), our newly refurbished flagship arts centre, and the project’s hub. The programme will run from 21 July 2023 to 31 March 2024.
