Free Art Workshop for Young Creatives
Join us for a free art workshop led by Education2Realisation on Saturday 5th July, 11am–2.3pm in the former Stitched Up unit. Open to children and young people aged 18 and under, the session will be a chance to get creative, learn new techniques, and produce artwork that can be entered into this year’s Carol P Duhaney Art Competition.
All materials are provided, and no experience is necessary. This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in a community celebration of creativity, with winning entries displayed locally and celebrated at an award ceremony at Flixton House in September.
Don't forget that we also host the Trafford Food Bank donations table (just in front of Uplift) - the team would massively appreciate any donations. British Heart Foundation will also be hosting their vintage pop-up in the former Calm Connections unit - be sure to check it out and grab some bargains.
