Plans for investment in a new arts space are taking shape, as part of a wider city centre regeneration project.<\/p>\n
The council said it would work with other organisations on its vision for a safe space for outdoor events, along with creative and play experiences at Angel Place in Worcester.<\/p>\n
It would provide opportunities for performances, events and activities led by creative organisations, as well as space for younger people to play and socialise, the authority said.<\/p>\n
Hannah Phillips, chief executive and artistic director of Scala Arts Centre, said that outdoor arts events connected communities and created a “collective sense of belonging.”<\/p>\n
Phillips added that they were looking forward to transforming Angel Place into a “safe, dynamic and playful cultural hub.”<\/p>\n
The council said it would work alongside a range of local partners at Angel Place, including the new Scala Arts Centre, Worcester BID, Starburst the owners of Friary Walk, and Play Worcester.<\/p>\n
It stated that safety measures would be installed, so the space could be used all year round for smaller community events as well as larger outdoor festivals.<\/p>\n
The aim was to encourage further investment from businesses and boost the economic growth of the local area.<\/p>\n
“We want Angel Place to become a place where people can come together in a safe space to meet family and friends and enjoy a wide range of events and activities throughout the year, said councillor Hannah Cooper.<\/p>\n
Worcester City Council agreed the design principles for the project at a meeting earlier this week.<\/p>\n
The changes to Angel Place would happen in 2027 when building works at the Scala Arts Centre have been completed, the authority said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Plans for investment in a new arts space are taking shape, as part of a wider city centre…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637799,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-637798","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637798","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=637798"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/637798\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=637798"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=637798"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=637798"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
