St.John's Church Organ Project

To keep my hand (and my head) in the arts and culture scene, I've been volunteering for all sorts of projects in London, and let's face it there are so many around to get stuck into.

A couple of months ago, I found advertised on http://www.artsjobs.org.uk/ the St.John's Organ Project. What really appealed to me was the idea of a church creating an exhibition.

The exhibition will focus around a newly restored grade II listed organ, while touching on local history and the church as part of the community. The space is open and light, perfect for an exhibition. After meeting the management team and visiting the church to see the space and logistics I grew in enthusiasm.

Once signed up as a volunteer I was offered a workshop to refine my research skills and learn about archives. This day was a great opportunity to meet more people also involved as research content volunteers. The first meeting was this week and it has helped me focus my aims and ideas about the project.

For more information about the project click on the link and the exhibition is hoping to be open during the musical May Fayre held in the church next year.
