A space for everyone to be creative, be connected and be championed in Chelmsford’s living room.

Number 11, The Meadows

Through this commission we championed and explored our collective creative vision for the district of Chelmsford.

Number 11 was a partnership between Culture Chelmsford, Chelmsford City Council, Chelmsford CVS, Dominus Real Estate, The Meadows Shopping Centre. And it was funded by our partners and Essex Community Fund.

We believe that everyone should have an opportunity to be creative.  We’ve made this free space, in a shopping centre, so that everyone could come into our living room and take part in something creative.

Number 11, The Meadows said a fond farewell after 11 wonderful weeks welcoming hundreds of people into our living room. We’re compiling all the evaluation that we’ve collected and will be sharing some of that soon. In the meantime, here are some of the wonderful photos we captured in the space our #ourculturaljourney together.
