Creative Communities, Swarthmore’s lottery funded arts project for Southb Leeds is holding two more launch events this month in Middleton and Hunslet.
Swarthmore Education Centre, based in Woodhouse Square, are delighted to be able to provide access to a range of arts to those who would not otherwise enrol onto courses and workshops already offered at the Centre.
The project will last for two years and will promote pride in place in the four targeted areas of Belle Isle, Middleton, Holbeck and Hunslet, through free arts/crafts sessions for the local community to attend and enjoy. The sessions will provide all materials and a free lunch for those taking part, with a wide range of creative activities available, facilitated by artists.
Anyone is welcome to apply, regardless of artistic talents, so long as they live within the targeted areas and are over 18. Come along, make friends, get creative, have fun!
Creative Communities will celebrate all things South Leeds and will be hosting exhibitions of the work produced by local residents in the local areas for everyone to enjoy.
