The showcase is a unique opportunity for the public to view the considerable range of creativity in our local area and, equally, a valuable publicity vehicle for local talent to build their business.

Our definition of 'culture' is wide-ranging, embracing the whole artistic community from time-honoured crafts to cutting-edge digital design, grouped into six broad categories – Visual Arts, Media, Performing Arts, Retail & Hospitality, Design and Contemporary Crafts.

Every 3 months our selectors will view all submissions to the site and choose representatives in each category to be showcased together with examples of their work.

Lane Castle and JER Partners are developing and regenerating Deptford’s riverside area with the intention of re-uniting the community with its historic waterfront.

The Paynes & Borthwick (P&B) Wharves development will create new homes and offices and provide local people with renewed access to landscaped, revitalised open spaces overlooking the Thames. There will also be a particular emphasis on creative and cultural initiatives.

Commercial units will be available to creative industries in the area, a public arts programme will integrate artwork into the buildings and public spaces and, during the development, around 11, 000 square feet of internal space will be available for events, shows, performances and presentation facilities for local and visiting arts organisations.

Lane Castle is a residential, mixed-use developer, which creates new urban schemes that fully integrate with the local community.

The company was set up in 2006 with the intention of making a significant contribution to local residents through their urban renewal projects, an ethos which sets them apart from other residential developers.
