Market Place is a responsive project driven by the communities and their ideas, that’s why it was important for us to involve as many Creative Forum members as possible into the brand development process. Workshops held in March and Mildenhall on 30 June uncovered a diversity of ideas and confirmed the sense of “togetherness” as well as the desire to see Market Place as an ‘enabler’ for the existing arts organizations and artists in the seven market towns. Taking all this into account, Market Place brand was created.
“Our new brand represents a ‘market square’ in all its meanings. It’s a marketplace, where different people come together to exchange skills and knowledge”, says Elena, our Marketing and Audience Development Manager. “Everything can happen in the market square, that is why our brand is flexible and has the ability to embrace a range of styles and colours, moods and emotions – all within the market square”.
Market Place is open and inclusive, but at the same time creates a framework for everyone to be part of. Market Place is a place to explore, a place to create, a place to experiment, a place to play, THE PLACE TO BE!
