UP Projects is working with Barnet Council to curate a programme of artist-led activities to celebrate 100 years of Station Road in Edgware, North London. The programme, that consists of a series of events and a new public artwork, will take place throughout 2023, activating public spaces and places along Station Road and beyond.

This specially curated programme explores the role creative practice can play in bringing communities together and activating the High Street. Inspired by narratives both past, present and future the activities have been designed to inspire longer term social change in Edgware.

The centenary programme is being developed in close collaboration with a host of key partners and local stakeholders including Barnet Council, the London Festival of Architecture, the emerging Business Improvement District, Middlesex University, Ballymore, Transport for London as well as local Edgware-based community groups, businesses and youth centres.

The Edgware Centenary Programme is curated by UP Projects and commissioned by Barnet Council.
