Good Growth Fund
198 Contemporary Arts & Learning supports artists, curators, and young people from BAMER communities. Our project for their new art gallery, education and enterprise space in Herne Hill has been awarded £475,000 from the Mayor's Good Growth Fund.
Sadiq Khan, said: “I am using this funding to challenge preconceptions about how regeneration takes place. I want to give all Londoners – regardless of background – the opportunity to be actively involved in their city and have more places to live, learn, work and play. The projects I announced funding for today will help us to tackle inequality, strengthen civil society, and ensure the benefits of regeneration are felt by all.”

A lightweight canopy structure provides shading, lighting, and privacy for medical staff working within the main atrium space, looking over Archbishop’s Park.
