The Euston area is currently undergoing major urban changes, with more planned for many, many years ahead. Stories of Regent’s Park Estate (SRPE) is a project making resident-led creative, positive change to the urban environment. Through collaboration between local residents, artists and key city stakeholders, we aim to ensure that Regent’s Park Estate thrives.

‘Developed on Drummond Street’ is a commissioning partnership between neighbours Old Diorama Arts Centre (ODAC) and Camden People’s Theatre (CPT), exploring new ways of making work in Camden, with and for Camden residents.

This year, 'Developed On Drummond Street' is going outdoors, to the streets themselves.

We’re looking for interviewees to form part of the making of ENGAGING EVER-CHANGING HISTORIES, a headphone theatre performance of the history of ODAC in and by the Camden community. The project is led by Lisa Ogun’ of No Qualms Productions.

As the cost of living crisis continues, many of us face tough decisions this winter. Everyone is worried about the costs of heating their home.

Your local arts creation and community centre is open every day of the week (til 10pm Mon-Thurs!). You’re welcome to hang out in our foyer to work, chat and warm up! We have free WiFi and help yourself to a free tea or coffee.

Old Diorama Arts Centre will be opening its doors - and the entire top floor! - for two full weeks in 2023.

Below is a form to sign up!

Our next One Festival takes place between 16th and 27th January 2023, and features workshops spanning a broad range of disciplines.

We’re proud to be supporting and hosting the Community Champion’s ‘Community Kitchen’. We wanted to do a small something to support individuals and families in December during this cost of living crisis, especially knowing that free school meals are not available during the holiday. 

It's the most wonderful time of year again! Dust off your jingle bells and get ready to sleigh, at the 2nd Annual Old Diorama Arts Centre Community Festive Party.

This time, the One Festival of Homeless Arts is going to be not only an exhibition of work - but a festival of creation and collaboration. 

Camden NoW!, a new collaboration with friends and neighbours CPT offers a substantial cash commission (£10,000) and package of support to artists resident in Camden with projects that could benefit from a fast-track to full production - those, for example, with stories which need to be told, now.

FULL PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED!

With a varied and playful programme of interactive art, performances, dance, inflatables, music, films, silent disco, workshops, food, and stalls from local organisations, the festival has been collaboratively curated by and in response to the Community Champions, young people from Fitzrovia Youth in Action (FYA), and ODAC.

We’re on a journey of change at ODAC, building from our radical artistic history and the needs of our local communities, and the fantastic potential of our current premises. We are making more charitable, social and artistic impact and we know it’s just the start.

Do you want to help us on that journey and guide our future? If so, perhaps you could be a great Trustee.
