Social Gallery Community Interest Company aims to engage people from Leicester, Leicestershire and the East Midlands in projects and activities which foster social connection, and keep social history alive by valuing and sharing untold stories of people’s involvement in popular culture, social movements, communities, places and spaces. Our objectives are to protect heritage at risk through collecting, showcasing and archiving stories, memories and artefacts through projects which engage different communities in co-curating exhibitions, events, books and films which foster positive nostalgia and gives people a sense of wellbeing and an opportunity to meet and learn from others. During our first year April 2024 – March 2025, most of our activities focussed on developing relationships with partners and making people aware of the work we plan to do and recruiting a voluntary steering group with relevant skills and expertise to support our work. We received three small grants, A Leicester City Council Cultural Ambition Fund grant of £3000 to consult with and engage local people in the planning and development of a larger scale project which will focus on the subcultures of the 1980s and produce an exhibition at Leicester Museum and Art Gallery in 2027. We engaged 55 people from diverse communities who contributed their ideas and memories to support the further development of this project which will be called 80s Remixed. We also supported and helped with design and production of an exhibition led by De Montfort University – The Art School Goes on Forever, January-March 2025, involving and telling the story of successful creative alumni that attended The Leicester College of Art 1n the 1960s. We applied for a Leicester City Council Ward Fund grant to support 2 events which enabled the general public to visit the exhibition and hear talks and learn about the successful creative careers of those featured in the exhibition. The Social Gallery directors supported the curation, promotion and design of the exhibition which attracted an audience of around 1000 people. In January 2025 we won an Enterprise Nation start up business grant of £3000 which we carried forward into 2026 to support core running and development costs of the organisation.
The Cultural Ambition Fund grant was aimed to consult with and engage local people with memories to share and ideas to put forward to shape a bigger exhibition and event project called 80s Remixed to take place in 2027. We engaged 55 people who were all able to put their ideas forward and feel involved in the project. This consultation has helped us to put in further funding applications to support the project. We have also held regular Steering Group meetings with our 7 members contributing ideas and expertise to the development of a number of projects we aim to get off the ground in 2026 and 2027.
