The Arts are a part of culture and without such we have nothing. Mainstream Arts intuitions do not give an adequate platform for BAME artists and ermerging talent. Given the fact that the Drum is in a socio-ecomonical depraved borough it's is vital that it remains open to continue to bring vibrant and cultural art to the area. I sincerely hope that the community manages to maintain its own space and have artist freedom and liberty. #blackartsdomatter and we rally around to ensure this happens. With that said it needs to run as a business and with input from local artists and community groups to ensure it meets the needs of both local and wider BAME community and does become a legacy like many other BAME spaces funding only lasts so long.
