Community Producers
Overview
In November 2024, Culture Within Newham asked former members of our Community Voices Panel if they would be interested in developing and producing their own creative project for a local community.
Panelists were able to apply for up to £2,000-£3,000 to deliver a creative, cultural or artistic project in their local community. Members of the Community Voices Panel have excellent and in-depth knowledge of their local communities and this commission aims to make the most of this knowledge and provide opportunities to develop experience working in the arts.
What’s a Community Producer?
A producer is a term used in creative industries for the person who works behind the scenes to do all the things needed for a project to happen. They turn an initial idea or concept into something practical and deliverable.
In practice, this means our Community Producers are responsible for:
Managing the project budget
Managing the project timeline
Managing the project risk
Delivering the project and agreed project outputs
Managing project marketing and communications
Collecting evaluation data for the project
