Power Up Reveals Year 5 Participants

Power Up has revealed the music creators, industry professionals and executives who will make up Year 5 of the multi-award winning initiative. Co-founded by PRS Foundation and Ben Wynter, Power Up’s Participant Programme elevates pioneering Black talent and is a key feature of the long-term initiative launched to address anti-Black racism and racial disparities in the music sector. The programme – designed to fit the needs of each annual cohort of participants – assists in the development of their careers and practice, to empower creators and professionals and to push for change across the industry. Power Up also recently welcomed new partnerships from Amazon Music, Warner Music UK and the Blavatnik Family Foundation, and Universal Music Group. All three investments will support and strengthen the programme through residentials and other activities offered to participants.

Inside V&A East Storehouse: Tim Reeve on London’s New Museum

Go behind-the-scenes of the V&A’s bold new museum with this in-depth interview with the man who made it a reality. Here I speak to the V&A's Deputy Director Tim Reeve about creating London's V&A East Storehouse, its groundbreaking approach to museum access, and what we can expect from the upcoming David Bowie Centre. What can people expect from the David Bowie Centre later this year? The David Bowie Centre will be a free to access home for David Bowie’s Archive, recently acquired by the V&A through the generosity of the David Bowie Estate, the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group. It’s part of the wider V&A East Storehouse experience, and is designed to unpack what an archive is, and to give a rotating look at some of the 90,000+ items from David Bowie’s archive.

Nourishing Hope: The Impact of Food Nutrition on the Working Poor

For more than 3,000 Israeli families, the gift of infant formula from Colel Chabad means more than nourishment; it’s one weight off their shoulders during their hardest days. Addressing the issue of the high cost of infant formula in Israel, Colel Chabad, which is the oldest continually operating charity in Israel, has partnered with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the Iranian American Jewish Federation of New York, the Blavatnik Food Bank, and the Ted Arison Family Foundation to provide infant formula to working mothers in Israel. This initiative is part of Colel Chabad’s National Food Security Initiative, which it conducts in cooperation with the Welfare and Social Affairs Ministry.

Kenwood’s General Manager Gives Update on Summer Events

It’s been a really exciting couple of months at Kenwood, with the opening of Heiress: Sargent’s American Portraits. We’ve had some wonderful feedback on the exhibition, and we hope that through the work of John Singer Sargent, we have successfully shed light on the contributions the women once dubbed ‘dollar princesses’ made to politics, the arts and society, and have shared their stories with a wider audience. A huge thank you to all who have supported the exhibition including The Friends of the Iveagh Bequest, Kenwood, the American Friends of English Heritage, the Deborah Loeb Brice Foundation, Weston Loan Programme with Art Fund and the London Historic Houses Museum Trust, the Blavatnik Family Foundation Rockefeller Capital Management, Gregory and Melissa Fleming, LK. Barnes, Mark King, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, The Sargent Circle and other generous supporters. If you have yet to see it, Heiress is running until October 5.
