What\u2019s #TeamDonco<\/b><\/p>\n
Working with Doncopolitan over 2017 and some of 2018 the team will be supported to develop creative ideas and events in the Town Centre whilst also steering ideas and projects for the DnweekeND, which will talk place on the 8<\/span>th<\/span>– 10th of September in 2017. Andrew Loretto Creative Producer hopes to see the DNweekeND become a legacy event for the town and take place every year as part of the St Leger Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n DNweekeND will commission local, regional and national artists to develop ambitious creative work to showcase at the event. The application for this is really simple and can be found HERE. If you\u2019re a interested in developing a project for the DNweekeND or would like to get a creative idea off the ground in the town centre get and we’ll support you ideas doncopolitan@gmail.com<\/span><\/p>\n What we talked about in our last #TeamDonco Meeting? <\/b><\/p>\n Doncaster is finally getting an arts calendar and we love supporting these types of event as they bring lots of cashola into our local economy. Tramlines in Sheffield is a brilliant example it brings \u00a33million to the City. \u00a0We want more brilliant events in our town centre.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Who Came along?<\/b><\/p>\n Emma Gullon- Intern and Theatre Writer for The Doncopolitan<\/b>. Here she is looking sharp at International Women’s Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Craig Hallam – Steampunk wordsmith.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Craig is a well-respected local author on the national Steampunk scene. \u00a0He helped coordinate the first two Steampunk festivals that took place in Doncaster a few years back. We know from talking to a few different residents and also the My Doncaster Team at DMBC that everyone think as Doncaster\u2019s should be the host of an annual Steampunk festival. Especially as Donny is the home of the famous steam engine the Flying Scotsman. \u00a0Here’s Craig’s article from the latest Doncopolitan.<\/p>\n Nick Boruk -designer and street art legend.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Nick is a graphic designer and artist behind Blok Heds. Nick spoke about the idea of creating a town centre shop for local artist maybe at Frenchgate Centre. Nick expressed \u00a0how difficult it is for local artists to develop their artwork in Doncaster post degree level and that a pop-up shop project at Frenchgate Centre or Waterdale could help students think about making their work more commercial. We\u2019ll help to link Nick up with Frenchgate Centre, Waterdale and The Markets team to see if this is something that could be developed. \u00a0Nick is also keen to see more street art in Doncaster and we\u2019re currently talking to DMBC about commissioning street art for the hoardings outside the Corn Exchange, if you\u2019re a street artist\/muralist get in touch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tammy – Our fav heritage geek.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n Tammy\u2019s or favourite Science Teacher at (Rigi School, that\u2019s Ridgewood for those not family with the local lingo).
