We are really excited to share some huge improvements to our Studio and Hub spaces and if you have been following our socials you may have had a sneak peek of these exciting changes. Thanks to funding from FCC Communities Foundation we have been able to install purpose built storage and refreshment facilities in these two spaces.
Throughout 2022 and Awards for All grant from The National Lottery has been supporting over 200 people to attend various creative sessions, including a core group of around 12 volunteers who meet weekly.
We have been quietly working away since re-opening to create a dedicated studio space that will be the hub for all our creative activity and learning this summer and beyond.
The Horsebridge has partnered with artist NaoKo Takahashi to bring a series of multiple voiced spoken word performances over 4 evenings at sunset as part of the Estuary Festival associated programme. Supported by Arts Council England.
A creative community project that has brought enjoyment during lockdowns and now brings so much colour inside and outside the centre for our re-opening.
We are delighted that one of the core group who took part in YDM has been enabled to gain a place on the Creative Media Practice Diploma starting in September!
Well done to our Young Leaders Group from our Young History Makers project. During lockdown they completed and received the certificates for their Silver Arts Awards!
We are incredibly pleased to announce that we have been awarded funding from Arts Council England and the government’s Culture Recovery Fund that means we can stay open, continue creating arts for all across our district and be #HereForCulture.
We wanted to share some fantastic news we have received this week. We have been awarded £35,000 by Arts Council England (ACE) towards anticipated loss of income due to the impact of Covid-19. The award will cover around 80% of the anticipated financial impact on the centre IF we are able to open from July.
Following questions from our supportive community we thought we’d let everyone know how we are doing and what our situation is at the moment.
