<div>We are Smithdown Social Arts Hub on Smithdown Road in Liverpool. We have been operating as a community arts organisation since 2018. Our dream was to support local creatives with projects across multiple arts genres: music, film, art and literature. We have delivered over 37 local artist exhibitions, published 3 compilations of local writers' work, produced a music and poetry album, provided the platform for local scriptwriters to produce 15 short films, generated music content for over 20 local musicians and more!

<div>In 2020 we were faced with the challenges of Covid closure but kept going despite it all! We are now facing some hard choices as after 5 years  our lease is up for renewal and our landlord wants to raise the rent by £625 a month!!! WTF! So it might be all change again but it won't stop us from pivoting again and expanding in new directions. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now raising money in our community for this pivot as funding is scarce for the arts and super competitive! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you have a spare £5-er or a spare £5k, please throw it in and help us keep creating despite everything that tries to stop it!! 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lot of love and gratitude to everyone in advance for your support!!!
