Recognition for our partnerships work and upcoming exhibition news…
We were thrilled to be recognised with a £250 micro-grant from Creative Lives recently, for our collaboration last year with Little Ark on the Print and Stitch Together at NEMCA project.
Creative Lives is a charity which champions community and volunteer-led creative activity, and works to improve opportunities for everyone to be creative. Their 'Partnerships and Collaborations' competition asked for good examples of how, when groups get together, they can achieve more than they could on their own. We really enjoyed our partnership with Little Ark on this project and are looking forward to future collaborations. Read the full story on the Creative Lives website here.
Upcoming exhibition: following our recent Bunting Workshops at the National Trust’s Stable Yard at Morden Hall Park, we are now working on an exciting exhibition for the gallery space! The display will run from the 5 - 24 May 2026, during which time we also hope to run a workshop. Watch this space for more information soon!
