We warmly invite you to join us on the 23rd May from 6pm to celebrate the launch of xChange Studios, a creative space for young people to learn and socialise.

We will also be exhibiting work by participants of our projects. If you are able to attend please email [email protected] Thank you! Team AEE

Dear all, Sorry for the quiet spell, things have been really busy! We're so excited to report that our recording studio is up and running and we have started to use our ground floor studio too! What a journey! We still have some decorating to do and sort out our shop sign but ultimately we have done what we set out to do and we are so pleased with the results! We have had some very positive reports from the young people coming through each week and can't wait to show you more. We will shortly be sending out a date for an open day, a chance for the community to pop in, see the facilities and have a chat about our plans. We hope some of you can make it! Thank you as always for your support. Team AEE

Dear supporters,  Happy New Year and thank you for your continued support throughout 2018. It has been a busy year! We’ve launched 3 new projects, become a registered charity with 3 amazing trustees and finally we can announce that we have secured a long term lease on our new premises! It has been 8 months since our crowdfunding campaign began so we are thrilled to have the keys to our new home on Northdown Road, Margate…at last! We began this journey to set up a space for young people to explore their identity and creativity and to expand our provision in an area where young people face huge challenges and disadvantage. Thanks to many of you, we raised £37,000 to do just that. Between now and the end of February we will be carrying out our refurbishments, including the installation of our recording studio and will be updating you all with our progress. We can’t wait to invite you all to our launch party! Thank you again! Ollie

xChange Studios Update8 years ago

Dear all, I hope you are all well. Apologies for the recent quiet in the ArtsEdEx camp, it has been an extremely busy few months! As you know we have had some set backs but we have been working really hard to secure the right premises to set up our studios in and I whole heartedly believe we have found that place. We are now in the process of finalising the lease terms and I hope to share all the details with you once those papers are signed!! Thank you for your patience and I can't wait to tell you more!! All the best, Ollie

Dear supporters, After 3 long months of campaigning we did it! We raised £37,184 to set up a centre of creative education for young people in Thanet! I am blown away! Thank you for all your support and generosity, without you this project wouldn’t be possible. We will be in touch very soon to give you more details and ways of following our story. We would also like to invite you to visit us when we are up and running! Huge thanks, Ollie x
