“If you want to create change, start a conversation.”Professor Theodore Zeldin

30 people from business and the arts joined us at The O2 on August 18 to participate in the first stage of a nation-wide project that will explore the contribution that culture makes to our lives. The event and subsequent outcomes are supported by Accenture, and are part of New Stream, a project supported by Bank of America Merrill Lynch and operated by Business to Arts.
More information on A Conversation about Culture will be available soon.

As you may have heard Derry (the only bidding city supported by a country!) has been successful in its bid to become the first ever UK City of Culture! A tremendous achievement and a great reward for all the hard work and and the incredible energy behind the Derry bid. We know that Declan Kelly and all the team in Derry were tremendously grateful for your support for the bid and we will, of course, be in touch soon to allow the team to share more of their plans for 2013 and talk about the role we can all play.

Thank you for all your support so far and CONGRATULATIONS to Derry!
