THE NEVER ENDING SUMMER
Right now we’re particularly exciting about, and up to our necks in, our summer series of five #ARTofCOMMUNITY20 Free Festivals from Eden Project to Glastonbury, Camp Bestival to Notting Hill Carnival with a grand finale in school community on an estate in Leeds.
#EPICFAIL20 OR #NOEPICFAIL20?
We’ve never built an internet TV studio and collaboration hub before. It might not have worked. But it does.
Would we have cared? We are dreamers, birdmen, mothers, grandads, creative carers. Aiming high is our art.
We are artists:
“It might not work, but here’s the thing.
The guy who invented the ship also invented the shipwreck, and either you’re in or you’re out.
Either you want to play this game or you don’t.
Art doesn’t work because we did something conventional and predictable, and here it is industrialised, right?
Art works because we connected.”
We are often live here on OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL - where you can also see past shows, highlights and other stuff.

WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
This plane took off before we’d finished building it and more details will follow but just to say we are relocating STEAM Co. to an undisclosed location where we will be setting up a fully functioning Community Communication Studio and Collaboration Centre.
All under the banner of #COMMUNITY LOCK-IN::
#ARTCONNECTS - daily online content and inspiration showing Art, Tech and Creativity in Schools, Work and Lives for parents, teachers and creatives/creative carers
#ROCKET KIDS CLUB - online community for kids who aim high (with their parents). A modern day version of the Holiday Playscheme that Nick’s inspirational mum and dad co-founded and ran for over ten years in his home town in Shropshire 40 years ago. Go now >>
#COCONFERENCE - a facility to host pre-planned conferences online such as one we were due to be speak at. We have many organisations signed up to support and use this facility.
#UK ART TAKE OVER - a month of UK wide creative activity in May as part of Voluntary Arts/BBC Get Creative Week and other events we are collaborating with. We also want to raise funds to put more of our STEAM Co. Pop-Up Day Drop Trucks on the road to run our creativity pops ups like this one at the Notting Hill Carnival Pioneers Festival last summer

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
We’re looking for 6 complimentary sponsors who share our vision and values around the power of Art - the combination of Creativity, Tech/Tools and People
We already had a plan to source 6 organisation for a 2 year Sociability/Sustainability programme of work we’ve developed with Nesta/DCMS.
We want to bring it forward, and initially just fund this three months #CommunityLockIn, yes all four elements listed above. Who wouldn’t want to help make that happen?
We’re toying with the idea of a Patreon subscription model and donations and even charging a monthly subscription to use the online Rocket Kids Club community but really want to make access to this free for all, especlally keyworkers and everyone on free school meals.
We’re all in this together. Will you help us?
If you’re a creative person or organisation who’d like to support this, please get in touch via the form here or email us at yourturn@steamco..org.uk
COLLABORATION IS EVERYTHING
