It's the most wonderful time of year again! Dust off your jingle bells and get ready to sleigh, at the 2nd Annual Old Diorama Arts Centre Community Festive Party.

This time, the One Festival of Homeless Arts is going to be not only an exhibition of work - but a festival of creation and collaboration. 

Camden NoW!, a new collaboration with friends and neighbours CPT offers a substantial cash commission (£10,000) and package of support to artists resident in Camden with projects that could benefit from a fast-track to full production - those, for example, with stories which need to be told, now.

FULL PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED!

With a varied and playful programme of interactive art, performances, dance, inflatables, music, films, silent disco, workshops, food, and stalls from local organisations, the festival has been collaboratively curated by and in response to the Community Champions, young people from Fitzrovia Youth in Action (FYA), and ODAC.

Sharing some of the fantastic photos from the first week of the Holiday and Food programme at ODAC, taken by Zbigniew.

We’re on a journey of change at ODAC, building from our radical artistic history and the needs of our local communities, and the fantastic potential of our current premises. We are making more charitable, social and artistic impact and we know it’s just the start.

Do you want to help us on that journey and guide our future? If so, perhaps you could be a great Trustee.

Camden People’s Theatre (CPT) and Old Diorama Arts Centre (ODAC) invite artists resident in Camden to fast-track new theatre and performance projects addressing life in Camden, London or the world – right now.

We are delighted to be a home for David’s new installation, ‘The Ghost of Who I Used to Be’, will be exhibited in our foyer until the end of May.

As well as providing our studios for all kinds of fantastic projects, our focus at ODAC is shifting to exploring how we support and build the community of creatives that use our spaces.

For ODAC, this year is about exploring what our communities need us to be, and we want to be led by you. Over the next few months, we’ll be announcing more opportunities to get involved in different ways.

First off, we’re excited to announce….

Kicking off with a Wednesday evening Pizza party and a Wellbeing lunch!
