20th Anniversary Project Co-Creators – Volunteer Role

Help us uncover and tell artsdepot's history in a new project for our 20th anniversary year.

We’re looking for volunteers to build artsdepot’s archive, uncover new stories and share its journey to become the cultural venue in Barnet. Over the next nine months, in collaboration with heritage specialists, we will be collecting oral histories, revisiting key events and tracking down photos to build an exhibition which will be displayed at artsdepot as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations.

We want to tell the story of artsdepot, the ideas that shaped it, the challenges along the way, and the impact on our community. However, we want this very same community to help shape how we tell this story. We are looking for volunteers to play a key part in the creation of this project with support from the artsdepot team.

Volunteers will share their own memories and ideas of artsdepot and gather stories from audiences, trustees, councillors, community members and others involved in artsdepot since its inception. Volunteers will then create a powerful, engaging and informative display with these stories with support and guidance from industry experts while developing their own skills and knowledge.

The resulting exhibition will be a testament to the creativity and community spirit that has driven artsdepot over the past two decades.

Time commitment: We welcome anyone but respect it’s not always possible to find the time to volunteer. The contribution of each volunteer will vary from role to role and person to person but for some volunteers it might be once a week while for others it could be a few hours a month.

The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on Sunday 24 November. We look forward to hearing from you!

This project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
