Art Start

Categories: Art, History

An organisation set up to provide after school activities for children in Edmonton Green Shopping Centre. It now exists to give all members of the community access to high quality arts activities.

From the Enfield Independent, 21 December 2009: "A local art project has been awarded more than £38,000 to create mosaics of lost cultural buildings in Enfield. The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded a grant of £38,800 to Edmonton-based arts charity Art Start, to create eight large-scale, mosaic panels depicting Enfield’s lost cinemas, theatres and music halls, as part of a project called Enfield's Lost Treasures. The project will involve children from Enfield schools ...  plus a community project involving Edmonton residents.

"Among the "lost treasures" that will be brought back to life in mosaic form are the Edmonton Empire, the Regal Edmonton, the Bycullah Athenaeum, in Windmill Hill, the Coronation Cinema, in New Southgate, the Premier Cinema in Enfield Highway, The Alcazar in Edmonton, and The Queens Hall in Enfield. Work on the mosaics, which will range in size from 6ft by 6ft to about 26ft by 10ft, will begin next year. The finished creations will be put up as close to the original building as possible."
