APAC Member Meeting – V&A East Storehouse

All APAC members are invited to our next Member Meeting at V&A East Storehouse on Friday 3 July 2026, 10.30am to 1pm. This is a hybrid meeting so members can also join online.

We’ll be joined by James White, V&A Curator of Theatre and APAC trustee, who will introduce us to the Storehouse. Holly Stepp, Project Archivist, will also share work undertaken on the David Bowie archive, which was acquired by the V&A in 2023.

Please book tickets using Eventbrite to help us manage attendance. The Zoom link will be shared in advance to everyone who has confirmed their online attendance.

If you have any questions or would like to forward apologies, please email secretary@performingartscollections.org.uk
