As an arts centre committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces for our whole community, we've made the decision to leave X. Find us onThreads and Bluesky - platforms that better align with our values. Looking forward to connecting with you there @GeneratorLboro✨

As part of Loughborough Lates, join us in celebrating the journey of the Generator so far. Hear about the building’s exciting development into a refurbished local centre for arts and culture, due to launch in Summer 2025.

There’s an old proverb that says a caterpillar may see an inch ahead, but an eagle sees the entire valley. Like that eagle, we’re taking time to gain perspective, taking time to plan. This pause helps us shape our vision...

Join us in celebrating the journey of the Generator so far. Nov 29th 2024 6-8pm with an introductory talk at 6.15pm and again at 7.15pm Institute. Upper Rooms, Baxter Gate, Loughborough LE11 1TG

This accessible space will be able to host events for up to 250+ people but will also have smaller spaces for smaller groups and individuals. 📷 @the_accident_man_ 📷 Kev Ryan #youtharts #kidscreating #creativeeducation #communityarts

The Generator will serve as a vibrant cultural nexus and an important hub for Charnwood’s local community.

Join us as part of Lboro Lates. 29.11.24 At Institute Research Lab Upper rooms, Baxter Gate, Loughborough

Floating above our main hall, The Generator’s new mezzanine adds 50+ capacity and creates a versatile new level perfect for everything from performance viewing to exhibitions, workshops and private views. Another piece of The Generator taking shape ⚡️

So much progress at The Generator this last month! This November, get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at your future arts and cultural centre.

Taking you behind the scenes today - Join us as we climb from the external scaffolding all the way up to explore The Generator’s brand new roof. Progress in this heritage building has shifted up a notch and we’re sharing every step this month 👀

Introducing our new Community Engagement Coordinator at The Generator, Loughborough -Pasha Kincaid Photo taken in 1984 on the wall between The Generator and The Griffin pub. According to Pasha, at that time the best crits occurred in the Pub!

@AnnieBannister @allinleicester Great - look forward to it!

@GeneratorLboro @allinleicester Excellent! And, yes, totally wait until building is sorted. Chris is expert at balancing our 'waiting lists' for audit with 'not requesting one before you're ready'. I'm so excited about coming out to see The Generator!

The Generator is a new Arts and Cultural Centre opening in 2025 in the middle of England. We want your input to help us create the best possible space for the community. Let us know what you think: How can we make the Generator more accessible to everyone?

@AnnieBannister @allinleicester Thanks! Coincidentally I’ve already being speaking to Chris Slowe about this, they’ll do the audit when the builders have finished.

@GeneratorLboro A really good start would be contacting @allinleicester for a Disability Access Audit & chat.

@sylviamwright1 Thanks Sylvia !

Amazing photo, capturing exciting progress

Last week we bid farewell to Nick Slater, our Director since December 2006, who has taken early retirement. Nick's legacy will be felt strongly across campus and the town, and all of us here at LU Arts & Radar wish him the very best for his next steps.

Once installed, the steelwork will provide the foundation for our new mezzanine, a crucial expansion aimed at increasing the capacity of The Generator and creating more opportunities for community engagement.

Construction update 🚧 🚧 We just welcomed the arrival of new steelwork on-site, braving the heavy rain. This essential material marks a significant milestone in our ongoing renovations.

A great opportunity to take a tour around Loughborough's oldest church! And while you're there, why not visit @OldRectoryLboro , Unity House, @GeneratorLboro @JTBellfoundry or any of the other buildings that are open, or perhaps take a walk with @Loughlibvol !!
