'Making Our Place' has been nominated for the Midlands Movies Awards 2023 in Best Documentary category. Commissioned by Junction Arts alongside the production of ‘Our Place’, a project which saw seven East Midlands based arts organisations co-create work with their local communities, the documentary has been released online and screened at events to celebrate the work undertaken by all involved.
Our thanks to Mike Sales and the Midlands Movies selection panel for nominating ‘Making Our Place’ in this category. It means a great deal to have our work recognised and have a platform to further spread the word about the work community arts organisations like Junction Arts are undertaking. A full list of nominees for the awards is now available here and we’d like to share our congratulations with all the deserving filmmakers who have been selected. The awards ceremony takes place on June 10th at the Y Theatre in Leicester.

“
Making Our Place has been a journey; both physically and creatively. A project created to unite artists, organisations and participants across the East Midlands, Our Place really does showcase the best the region has to offer through art and through the spirit of the communities it touches.”
