Collage Arts e-quarter July 2020
Follow us on social media
We are emerging from lockdown this month. We are all trying to figure out the meanings the safe new normal. Behind the scenes, the Collage Arts team have been supporting the wide-ranging creative communities through our projects and in the Collage Artspaces. We are exploring how we can creatively support communities impacted by COVID-19 and deliver a response to the Black Lives Matter movement that is meaningful. Our current priorities include young people and their families; ethnic minority women; artists, writers, makers and creative companies. We want to share some highlights of some of our successes and flag some of the things to look out for over the coming weeks.Â
