The building of the North Wall was completed in 2006. It was funded by St Edward's School, with support from benefactors and friends, many of whose names are recorded in the building, and to all of whom we remain immensely grateful.
Its mission is to enrich the lives of young people with arts
projects and performances, and to engage the interest of the local and wider community with arts
events of a high standard. The North Wall was opened to the public in July 2007 with a Summer
Festival, followed by a residential Drama Summer School for 16-19 year olds from across the
country. It is intended to run both these events again in 2008.
We are looking for financial support (both corporate and individual) in these two
endeavours, and in other arts projects in the coming year. Specific areas of support would be:
· Becoming a principal sponsor of the Summer Festival or the
Summer School.
· Sponsoring an event at the Festival or during the coming year.
· Sponsoring a child at the residential Summer School.
· Funding a workshop.
· Advertising in the Festival programme.
Other ways of supporting the North Wall are 'Naming a Seat' and
'Signing a brick'.
The North Wall manager, Nick Quartley, will be happy to deal with
initial
enquiries about support of this kind:
