This autumn, Earls Court will be home to three competitive socialising activities – Padel, boules and beach rugby. The new facilities will provide opportunities for local people and Londoners to partake in and enjoy sport.
In February 2023, The Earls Court Development Company published the draft masterplan proposals for the site of the former Earls Court Exhibition Centres for public consultation. This was the seventh phase of consultation since the site was purchased from the previous owners, with two years of detailed engagement on our vision to bring the wonder back to Earls Court.
This free course is for sixth form students from under-represented groups who are interested in exploring the skills and knowledge for a potential career in the built environment sector (architecture, engineering, planning, design etc).
The newsletter leads with an update on the feedback we have heard on the draft masterplan for the site since February and the next steps for the draft masterplan. It also covers an update on the Open City, Architecture in Schools programme, our youth ambassadors, our Public Realm Inclusivity Panel and our Artist in Residence programme. Have a read and see how you can get involved.
A Summer of Art programme has been unveiled today at Earls Court, featuring an array of activities and things to do in the area alongside public art installations and exhibitions.
As part of KCAW Talk Series, on Wednesday 28 June from 6pm, ECDC is hosting an Expert Panel Talk 'Imagining Future Cities: Culture + Architecture + Art’ at the Project Rooms, Empress Place.
Neighbours from Earl’s Court, West Kensington, North End Road and further afield came together to celebrate the Hub’s one-year anniversary. Over 300 residents attended the event, enjoying a lovely, sunny afternoon with their families and friends.
The Gallery is currently occupied by two artist friends, Jess and Yoyo.
After a competitive interview process, this January we launched an Artist in Residence programme selecting twelve artists to work with the local community over a three-year period to deliver portraits and community arts projects. Each residency lasting three months, with the artist based locally in a studio at The Community Hub in West Kensington.
Our first artist-in-residence, illustrator Helen McCallum, has completed her residency! A total of 12 artists were selected at the beginning of the year, to develop portraits of the local community over three years, with each residency lasting three months and the artist based in a studio at ECDC’s Community Hub in West Kensington.
The Gallery is currently occupied by Anna Obert, a freelance and self-taught illustrator and owner of a small business AnnaObert Illustration.
The Earls Court Development Company’s first annual Social and Economic Impact Report has revealed that investment from ECDC has amounted to £7.8m worth of social value created to communities in the Royal Boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea and Hammersmith & Fulham.
We have opened a new Community Hub on Aisgill Avenue, in the Gibbs Green Estate, West Kensington!
