Consultation results

Thanks to everyone who submitted a consultation form, it's really a huge help.  For those interested in the results, we have published them in a friendly pie chart form on this site.  You can find them here.

This data will help us determine the requirements for the first phase of the project.  After the doors open, the initial members will help shape the centre, based on the initial consultation findings, so we expect things to evolve naturally over time.  It's a great starting point, so thanks again to everyone.

  • David Consultation Results WRITTEN_BY David

    Hi Everyone,

    firstly, thanks to all of you who came along to the consultation day, I hope you found it as interesting as I did.  Secondly, I apologise for the media blackout.  I have been on holiday for the past two weeks and I'm madly trying to catch up on everything.

    Anyway, I'm told that the legal side of things is still progressing and I will be finding out next week (I hope) when the open day is likely to be.

    In the meantime, I have been asked by the council to start to put together a list of initial members.  Memberships will be offered first to those who registered for the consultation day, secondly to those who have registered an interest in the WIP (either with me or though the website), and finally to the rest of the world.

    If you believe that you should be in one of the first two rounds and have not had an official Early Bird membership offer from me by the end of next week, please let me know and I'll check the records again.

    As you know, there are a limited number of memberships and when full, a waiting list will be started.

    Early Bird registration for membership does not involve any money changing hands at this point.  It is more a registration of commitment so that we can determine the initial membership profile and how best to cater for those members.  The initial members will form the first membership committee and will have a say in the workings of the centre.  At this point, we are offering 15 full time memberships and 10 part time memberships.  This is subject to change, depending on demand.

    I will update the site with more details as they come in, I just wanted to get a quick update out to you this week.

K2 Latest Arts Council Update

  • Arts Council Approved WRITTEN_BY_MALE Administrator

    Well, it looks like the Arts Council Funding has been approved and earmarked for this project.

    I'd like to thank all of those involved so far, including Rebecca Weaver and Greg Cooper from Ipswich Borough Council.

    The money will enable us to launch the WIP with a subsidised membership structure, making it affordable and accessible to artists and creatives of all kinds.

    There will be some important announcements made regarding consultation days and opening dates over the next few weeks, so please check back regularly.
