LOCATION: COLCHESTER
‘Slack Space’ is a volunteer run initiative in Colchester that interrupts and occupies empty retail units and other locations abandoned due to recession. The units are used as performance spaces and to display and promote local artists work, in order to generate a buzz in the towns centre. They have injected colour, art and laughter back into the local community in a successful attempt to help uplift our local social, economic and cultural life in during the recession, which I think is a fantastic cause that gets local artists work seen. ‘The Space’ is its new location (19- 29 Queen Street) and opened this week, wed 21st April.
