Cultural Festivals
Add contents hereSince August 2008 London has been hosting the international Cultural Olympiad which will run to 2012 and South London will continue to play a full and active part in the Cultural Olympiad. There will be a range of activities and events at national and regional level, boroughs and local organisations are also planning their own activities.
By 2013 we will have involved more than half of south Londoners in culture and arts activities leaving a lasting legacy of participation, enhanced audiences, successful artists and a celebration of south London’s diversity.
The projects and activities related to this work may encompass visual and performing arts, heritage and museums, the built environment and open space, libraries and literature, new media, film, food and celebrations. www.gosouthgo.co.uk/events
