Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
I'm Auro Foxcroft, Im a furniture designer by training and I set up Village Underground.
As a project Village Underground lets me indulge myself in a few of my passions – promoting special gigs and events is something that I've done since my beginnings as a teenage raver, exhibitions of design and art and other cultural shows are close to my heart, and also I get to travel - Im setting up other Village Underground projects in Lisbon and Berlin.
I sit on the board of Trans Europe Halles, which is a network of not for profit cultural centres across spread over 25 countries in Europe.
All of my work is important to me because Im a passionate believer in the power of culture, and in particular independent and alternative culture. It happens on the fringes and it’s a vital way that society redefines itself and evolves.
Im very happy that my work keeps me in that space, working at ground level with artists and the local creative community, as well as the ultra diverse community of East London at large.

Rebecca, Jon, Matt and Tina, thanks so much for your support. We're getting there...slowly put surely. x x x
That's very kind of you to give back Sarah, that's all we want to do. You're right: perfect Christmas gifts! Thanks for your support Deadly Knitshade - the great thing about this gallery is we can stretch to more different mixed media ;)
As one of London's sneaky stitching street artists I'm proud to be able to be a part of this. Can't wait to see it happen. Best of luck fund-raising for the rest. I'll give it a tweet.
Inspiring stuff and the perfect way I can spend the money I got for doing a craftivism workshop at the Richmix. Very proud to be a backer and will encourage family and friends to back or ask to be a backer as a christmas present off others x
Ah thanks SF. proud to have you onboard. xxx
Good luck guys. Innovative and creative. Proud to be a backer!
Wow guys, thanks. It's awesome to have people believing in what we're trying to do. we hit 10% today, fingers crossed, we'll make the rest. Dee, Andy, Village Underground thanks you both
Art with heart around it. Although it is only a small amount I send you, I want you to know that I love what you are doing and suggesting and the recycling element is absolutely brilliant, railway carriages as offices and studios, incredible energy and commitment here I think. Keep on doing this wonderful work.
You've got my backing, wish I could give more! I must pass this wall at least 5 times a week and every time I go past it makes me smile. What an amazing idea and a true gentleman Auro. Fingers crossed you can get this project to fly...
All the best and keep up the good work :)
wicked, thanks for the support J&D - all of it... london, here you come...
Better than a Facebook wall Auro, we 'Like' this. Jules&Dan x
Ah thanks guys, here's to hoping... and yep, cheers, spread the word as much you can - both sides of the pond and we'll make a bigger noise!
You all got my backing!
Big hello from the U.S. and wish you all the best with raising the rest.
This is a great project, count me in ;-) I'll make sure I spread the word as much as I can !
Hey Maeve! Sending a hug all the way to Oz. Come and see us soon... xxx
