Celebration Day: Community Feedback Event

In 2025, Modern Painters, New Decorators will open the doors to a new public arts venue on Aumberry Gap in Loughborough, near Pinfold Gate. After seven years at Carillon Court Shopping Centre, Modern Painters, New Decorators will leave the current location in the autumn. An exciting opportunity has come up for Modern Painters, New Decorators to relocate and expand. The new arts venue will include a public gallery and learning space, artist studios, community kitchen and pop-up cafe.

On the morning of our Celebration Day, we’ll be sharing the plans for our new site and we’d love to hear what you think. During the morning , we’ll be asking for your thoughts on the move and appreciating any feedback you might have. It's an opportunity to ask questions and have open discussions with us regarding the new site. There will also be free refreshments. This will be part of our 'Build It Here' programme.

Build It Here

The ‘Build It Here’ campaign is an eight-month programme of events, talks and workshops to co-produce the new space with artists, young people, families and community groups. This will run alongside fundraising activities to secure £40K to fit out the venue. Work is due to begin in September 2024 at the 195 SQM site, which was built as part of the Luxurio Student Accommodation redevelopment, located on the ground floor and with street access via the entrance on Aumberry Gap.
