London's Printworks share response after unsuccessful Cultural Recovery Fund application

Now that both rounds of the UK government's Cultural Recovery Fund have been distributed, one of South London's larger venues - Printworks - has shared a response after not qualifying for the emergency funding.

Printworks write, "Last week's Culture Recovery Fund delivered a much-needed lifeline to the world-leading Arts & Culture industry here in the UK, with over £330m of grants handed out by Arts Council England. However as many of you are aware, Printworks' application for the recent round of the CRF which also included other Broadwick Live venues (including The Drumsheds London, Exhibition London and Depot Mayfield in Manchester) was unsuccessful."

The London venue adds, "We pride ourselves on being a brand that upholds the importance of music and culture in the lives of so many. For the past four years, Printworks has provided a platform for countless artists, both established and emerging, bringing unforgettable experiences to the thousands of music fans we have had the pleasure of inviting through our doors. While we take this time to review the next steps we want to thank you for all the unwavering messages of support - we are honoured to be part of such an incredible community and industry."
