‘Watch This Space’ is about looking at spaces (any spaces) differently
and asking how they might be used to support, encourage, and build the creative and cultural sector in Skipton.
The project was piloted by Great Place Lakes and Dales in 2019 and 2021 the project helped people working in
creative industries experiment and test different spaces. These pilots saw digital workshops take place in a
co-working space, an opera singer take over a parish hall, performers develop aerial skills in a barn and poetry
created in a restaurant window to name a few.
The project also enabled collaboration between artists, new skills
to be learnt and ideas to be tested – it gave the ‘space’ for people to explore.
Now Watch this Space is back
in Skipton for 2022/2023 and we are on the hunt for spaces and creatives to work with – check out what spaces
we have available here and what creative ideas and
projects are developing here
