Hi all
Details of the ARCSPACE launch worth coming down for every one that
wants to get involved in projects
please find attached the new leaflet for Arcspace Manchester, which
has its community launch on Sat 18th April 10am to 6pm at St Wilfred's
Enterprise Centre, Royce Road, Hulme.
We have a new hub with recycled computers (running Ubuntu) set up, and
on the launch day we will be offering a range of FREE WORKSHOPS,
talks, lunch and much more as part of our Mapping Creativity project
in association with Manchester Beacon, St Wilfrid's and the North West
Development Agency, TGL.TV.
In the morning upstairs we have free alternative therapies including
tekno yoga, reiki, indian head massage expressive visual art -
-leading into story telling workshops and local interactive mapping
sessions.
Downstairs in the lab we have a host of workshops - Drupal, recycling
computers, Linux and Ubuntu and we recommend that you sign up
beforehand to avoid disappointment. The tekky workshops are from
Downstairs
10 to 11.30 - informal hack lab activities

Gimp workshops etc upstairs
There will be light lunch and refreshments provided and please come

is about free knowledge transfer in its grass roots form, and it is
for us as a community to express how we feel about our area, our work,
the future – and now.

free workshops, lend support, find out more info, please email us at

local area of Hulme, or mapping creativity during the Futuresonic
Festival with ArcSpace, please get in touch really soon - we have a
couple of (paid) slots left. Please send us one paragraph on what
you would like to offer - - we invite you to think laterally, be
inclusive of diverse cultural groups, and of course - - - to make us
think about our position in our environment, especially during these -
