In the run-up to the Olympic games, CREATE is celebrating London's creative and artistic energy. The festival, whose main sponsor is Deutsche Bank, is taking place in five districts of the city on the Thames until August 1, 2010. With over 100 partner institutes and artists from the fields of dance, design, theater and the visual arts, CREATE shows how vital the art scene is in the east and southeast parts of the city, where more than 15,000 artists live. In addition to "Young London: Into Music", a further focus is "Future Histories", featuring a series of podium discussions, guided tours and events in which prominent artists and curators who live in the area are participating. Among them are the artists Tracey Emin and Rachel Whiteread, as well as Iwona Blazwick, the director of Whitechapel Gallery.
Colin Grassie, CEO of Deutsche Bank UK, had this to say about the partnership with CREATE: "The arts are crucial to stimulating growth and innovation and to inspiring communities. Deutsche Bank has been involved in providing support to several exciting new projects at the very beginning of their lives; firstly with Frieze Art Fair and now with CREATE 10."
