GUNNERSBURY Park Museum is to become the first National Portfolio Organisation in Ealing.
As such, it will receive £129,500 a year from the Arts Council for the next three years, with its schools programme, in particular, benefitting.
Gunnersbury aims to create a Community Cultural Champions programme, to provide training and skills.
It will have a regularly changing exhibition programme in both the museum and the park, as well as online and in the wider community.
The programme will celebrate the creative industries of Ealing and Hounslow, including sites such as Ealing Studios.
Jan De Schynkel, Arts and Culture Manager for Ealing Council, said “This recognises
Gunnersbury’s hard work of trying to engage meaningfully with people and
places.”
