Opening up trading opportunities and connections between the Leeds and Sheffield creative timebanks has been a success for Leeds member Jonathan Turner. We are also looking at how we can transact hour credits to access venues, rehearsal spaces and equipment, in addition to our skills, knowledge and hands-on support.
International case study
The informal noncash economy of LCT is viewed with interest by researchers investigating ‘non-risky risk’ and creativity, time as an exchange currency and as an alternative and critique of the monetary mainstream. Recent publication of Design and Economics by Guy Julier includes LCT as an international casestudy.
When’s the next Big Social?
Its planned for the autumn. This get-together happens twice a year and is member-led. It’s an opportunity to connect with others across a diverse range of artforms and disciplines, and help shape the timebank according to your interests.
