A new collaborative creative project launches at Epsom Library

The Arts, Culture and Heritage team and Bourne Hall Museum officers have worked with NESCOT Creative Media students and Surrey Libraries to create a pop-up touring exhibition this January. Entitled ‘Then & Now’, NESCOT students visited the archives at Bourne Hall Museum to investigate the architectural evolution of Epsom High Street and consider the past, present and future of our borough.

The project sits within the Council’s Arts, Culture and Heritage Strategy, which seeks to nurture local artistic talent and increase access to our borough’s colourful historical past through creative outputs. It has been funded by EEBC through the government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF).

Speaking of ‘Then & Now’, Councillor Clive Woodbridge, Chair of the Community and Wellbeing Committee at Epsom & Ewell Borough Council said,

“In our bid to diversify interest in our borough’s rich cultural past, it’s fantastic to see NESCOT students bringing our community’s creative youth voice to the fore. I’m delighted to support this new exhibition which continues to evidence the value of collaborative working with community stakeholders”.

If you miss the exhibition at Epsom library this month, don’t worry, the exhibition will tour to Bourne Hall and Ewell library in February.
