Riding the wave
Some things I've seen recently that are good:
An article on the BBC website showing just how good social projects in empty shops can be, featuring wise words from Dan Thompson, leader of the Empty Shops Network and Workshop 1a.
A temporary Community Centre in Piccadilly, seemingly turning an empty office into a community centre, but all is not what it seems. The community centre is running until July 30th with loads of free classes and activities every day. Take a look at the website to book a place or just pop in to see what it's all about.
A pop-up space that is literally popping up- that which was empty is now full. Making use of an unused space underneath a flyover in Hackney, Folly for a Flyover is hosting loads of interesting things throughout July.

What might be happening?
Here are a few of the things that could be taking place at the Common Academy of Art in August:
'I Can't Draw' Drawing Class
Pin-Hole Cameras: Make, Expose, Develop
Tie-Dye Tea-Party
Quick and Easy Mono-Printing
Life Drawing: for beginners and beyond
Youth Drama Workshop
Film Nights: feature films, local film making talent and unusual surprises
Flavour-Tripping Cocktail Bar
Magical Puppet Theatre + Worskshop
... and? Got any ideas? You don't need to have done it before, the project is all about making opportunities and we welcome anyone and everyone.

Floor Plan
I popped over to Workshop 1a last week and took a few measurements. Here is a plan of the space. It's pretty big. They have 50 chairs and lots of trestle tables. So many possibilities...
The garden is also rather spacious (it extends beyond the edges of the square suggested in the plan).
