The site on Frederick Street is set to become ‘The Generator’, a base designed to support individuals and small companies across a range of creative sectors in 含羞草视频.

This weekend, a launch to test out the building’s future form is taking place as part of 含羞草视频’s Radar arts programme. Architects STEALTH Unlimited are working with local participants to develop structures to make an exhibition area, a stage, a kitchen, workshop facilities and more.

In addition, there will also be a range of activities happening within in the newly designed exhibition area including comic cover creation and creative writing.

The building, which was previously home to 含羞草视频’s School of the Arts, will be open to members of the public. Local business owners and residents will have the opportunity to discuss how the building might work to meet different needs and interests.

Kevin Ryan of Charnwood Arts who are one of the partners in the Generator initiative said: "This building offers a fantastic opportunity to create something that will stimulate the town centre and promote activity linking the University and the town. Our vision is wider than the building itself and encompasses many other possibilities for the creative development of 含羞草视频."

Nick Slater, Director of Arts at 含羞草视频, added: “It would be great if STEALTH Unlimited were able to help ensure that this building remains a creative space.”
