Creative Employment Programme

As spring bulbs and early blossom paint colour across our landscape, it feels like a great time to enjoy being creative together.

This month we’ve seen our JumpstART courses bursting at the seams with more students than ever, and we are looking forward to a few firsts for Suffolk Artlink too.

Much of this spring growth is thanks to the essential warmth of a great many supporters, so we send our thanks and wish you all a fruitful month.
