‘Smallest arts centre in the world’ pleased with ‘really great’ start since joining Northampton Market Square
The ‘smallest arts centre in the world’ is pleased with its “really great” start over the past four months since joining Northampton’s newly refurbished Market Square.
The Creative Place – a space for aspiring and established creatives, or anyone who wants to learn more about the arts across the county – emerged at the heart of the town centre in September last year.
At eight o’clock on the second friday of each month, at South Street Arts Centre in Reading, The Poets Cafe assembles in a warmly lit room, all faces turned like sunflowers, to the reader on the stage.
The Poets Cafe is Reading’s longest running poetry night and it continues each month to bring writers together to listen and learn from one another’s work.
Every month, a new guest poet is invited to share their work with the room. These are established poets, often reading from published collections and anthologies of their own.

Rodin-themed art center to open in Shanghai, featuring iconic works of legendary French sculptor
In soft, ambient lighting, “The Thinker” rests his fist against his chin, lost in profound contemplation. Just a few steps away, “Balzac” stands tall, head held high. These masterpieces, crafted by the legendary French artist Auguste Rodin, are quietly placed at an exhibition hall in Shanghai, inviting local visitors on a journey through the splendor of 19th-century French art.
The exhibition Rodin: A Hinge Figure towards Modernity will kick off on Saturday as the opening exhibition of the much-anticipated Centre d’ Art Rodin, or Rodin art center in Shanghai, a key cultural exchange project under the theme of the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic ties this year.
