Art In Empty Shops
Artist Residency and Volunteer Programme
rEvive is an arts in empty shops project, run voluntarily by CAFÉ ( Culture and Arts Forum Erewash) initially jointly funded by Arts Council England and Erewash Borough Council.
CAFE is a not -for-profit organisation established in 2009 by local artists, arts providers and Erewash Borough Council Arts Development team. The group was created as a means of supporting the development of arts, culture and creativity in the area. CAFÉ is free to join and has around 90 members including visual artists, arts organisations, makers, writers, performers, musicians, film makers, curators and arts administrators living and working in Erewash. It is an independent constituted group.
rEvive aims to bring professional and voluntary arts by local artists and performers, arts organisations, community groups and schools into the heart of Long Eaton and Ilkeston town centre. Empty shops are being filled with creative workshops, performances and exhibitions with the aim of revitalising the town centres, encouraging increased retail enterprise and engaging local residents and visitors in creative activities.
The current rEvive shops are :
59 Market Place, Long eaton
Ex - Burtons , The Albion Centre, Bath Street, Ilkeston. DE7 8AG
