Printworks London responds to rejection of Cultural Recovery Fund assistance
London venue Printworks has issued a response to the club’s rejection for Cultural Recovery Fund assistance.
Printworks, a 5,000-capacity venue in south London, and a crucial staple in London’s nightlife since opening its doors in 2017, has issued a statement after sharing that the club had failed to secure financial assistance from the Arts Council’s Cultural Recovery Fund after closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The venue, alongside Depot Mayfield, currently the home of Manchester’s Warehouse Project, Exhibition London, and The Drumsheds, are all operated by Broadwick Live, and were also denied funding.
“Last week’s Culture Recovery Fund delivered a much-needed lifeline to the world-leading Arts & Culture industry here in the UK, with over £330m of grants handed out by Arts Council England,” the statement from Printworks reads. “However as many of you are aware, Printworks’ application for the recent round of the CRF which also included other Broadwick Live venues (including The Drumsheds London, Exhibition London and Depot Mayfield in Manchester) was unsuccessful.”
