What does Nottingham need in the place of the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre? What will be the experience of Nottingham over the next century?

Join architectural designer William Harvey and visual artist Ryan Boultbee, two Nottingham-based creatives working with the built environment, to discuss and re-draw the possible futures of the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre.

Join us in Broadway Gallery to suggest creative and imaginative proposals for the half-demolished Broadmarsh site in Nottingham’s city centre.

This collective deliberation will aim to empower urban imaginaries and urban innovation through the infinite and playful possibilities of drawing, and the drawn proposals will become a way to reshape the future of the city and the local landscape.

Take part in this workshop at Broadway Gallery on Saturday 20 August from 5:30PM–6:45PM.

Framework for Practice is a project led by visual artist/curator Ryan Boultbee and architectural designer/artist Will Harvey. It represents the creation of a space to support the growth of new ideas.

Framework for Practice is a temporary scaffolding structure modifying Broadway Gallery into a space for supporting and inspiring sustainable creative research. The framework adapts to host a series of events, with the aim of supporting creatives to generate new ideas and starting points to research.
