creative workshops

As summer gets into full swing, we’re out and about bringing with us a variety of creative opportunities to our local communities.

Look out for a busy programme of creative get-togethers for older people in rural Suffolk, family activities in Lowestoft and the launch of booking for our brand new Brave Art programme for adults with learning disabilities, which starts in September.

Warm wishes,

Alex & Hayley, Co-Directors

A word from our friends

Look out for the Siren Festival, taking place in Aldeburgh 29th July – 11th August.

The festival champions our coast in a changing climate. Fusing wonder, art, science, performance and music; Siren entertains and inspires every generation. A showcase for all who can use their talents to make a difference because, as never before on our changing planet, all people have the gift, the right, to speak for both our environment and our young people’s future.
