David Houghton
David Houghton, an art student at the University has an in depth knowledge of Northampton and the arts during much of the twentieth century - an area that is inspirational in our buiding of the future. I felts that a talk by David, who is a skilled speaker, would be of excellent value to the arts community. I asked him to describe a talk that he would be interested in providing and he gave the following description of what he would do -
An examination of the flowering of Northampton as a centre of artistic excellence during the first half of the 20th Century and the neccesity for the town to reclaim its heritage and to build upon it in order to reclaim its rightful heritage as cultural and artistic centre of the East Midlands.
Many of the arts peoples that I have spoken to think that this would be an excellent opportunity to stock-take and to examine where new ventures e.g. the NAC fit in at the moment and they look forward to such a talk probably either at the Labour Club or (ideally, as this is the arts centre) the Fishmarket.
