The DOVER Urban Room

This space in the home of artist and Dover Arts Development founder/director Joanna Jones has belonged to the nationwide network of  Urban Rooms  since 2018, physical spaces where people meet to discuss, debate and become actively involved in the destiny of their own towns and communities – Creative methods of engagement and participation foster a commitment to the future of our buildings, streets and neighbourhoods.

Since  2006 Joanna has used her Urban room as a social space to bring artists, architects, musicians, museum people and other creative practitioners together with residents, those in local government and business around a variety of topics and in a variety of ways, all connected in some way to Dover.
