Bernie's Award
Congratulations to Bernadette Conlon, our Chief Exec, who has been given the Mayor's Citizen Award for Salford. She has won under the adult category for December and will be presented with her award next Friday (22nd January) at the Mayor's Parlour in Manchester.
It is an award that celebrates outstanding contributions made to the city of Salford and its people. So well done Bernie, it is an award you so richly deserve. Enjoy your fantastic day next Friday.
Insight into our group sessions
This is the Creative Start 50+ group at Ranulph Court hard at work. We have had great attendances at a number of venues and this is just one that we wanted to show off.
These groups are a great way of getting people together, sharing an enjoyment of art, as well as a good chat! It doesn't matter what the ability,only enthusiasm is required.
Check the gallery images for the artwork created here, and at other groups, and see how fantastic it is.
Lowry's Market Appeal
We had some fantastic results from the Christmas markets this year. Sales on the week exceeded £1500 and we also gained £500 of post market orders.
All the items on the stall went down brilliantly with the public, but the biggest success this year were the ceramic department's 'Lowry Figures' which sold out and produced another 20 orders, ensuring a busy Christmas period for all involved!
Other news: Start Creative took items to councils and public buildings and sold £700 of stock.
