Funds awarded by the Covid-19 Culture Recovery Fund Round 1 Grants have been published for Tower Hamlets.
And the Culture Recovery Fund winners are…
Rich Mix has been awarded £971,000 (which will make many members of Tower Hamlets Labour Party happy), the Whitechapel Gallery £534,0000 and Studio Spaces £500,000.
Studio who? Studio Spaces is an events and photography studio space in Pennington Street Wapping. Impressive that Studio Spaces has been offered five times more than Wilton’s Music Hall.
