FNO round table: the cultural roles of makerspaces

13 June 2016

We're hosting a round table at KADK in Copenhagen with invited guests to discuss the intersection of making and makerspaces with what's usually called the cultural sector - museums, galleries, libraries, community and civic spaces, and sometimes even broader into shops and NGOs. We're interested in the new behaviours being displayed and new typologies emerging. This round table is an opportunity to share our fresh research and move it along. Invite only.

Selected Clients & Partners

‘The Power of Making’, drew 320,000 visitors – an astonishing number. The Power of Making sent us a very clear signal and set us a very clear task.

Martin Roth
Director, Victoria & Albert Museum

We’re reigniting an amazing heritage brand. That’s an awesome starting point from which to build a new, innovative community of designers and engineers.

James Nettleton

What do you get if you cross a community centre, a laboratory, a gallery, science centre and a museum? The exciting hybrid model of the Institute of Imagination is certainly one of a kind.

Gareth Binns
CEO, Institute of Imagination, London

From Now On have been instrumental in helping the museum define its vision for the future as it embarked on its project to relocate to High Street Kensington. I would highly recommend them for any institution embarking in an in-depth review of their vision, objectives and future plans.
