Hive Art Studios awarded NLWA Community Fund.
The North London Community Fund was established in 2017 to support waste prevention initiatives happening locally. The fund forms an integral part of NLWA’s commitment to enable communities to drive change and extend their impact, as outlined in its Waste Prevention Plan published at the end of 2022.
We’re delighted that Hive Curates are a recipient of the 2023 programme and have been awarded a fund to support the programming of their makers yard at Pretoria Road North Studios under their CIC (Hive Art Studios CIC).
