bids

Well done everyone, we successfully submitted our stage 1 Leader bid this week. Early indications are promising, so watch this space!!
We are still working on the fine detail of our plans, so if you want to get involved, the next arts project group meeting is thursday 4 th February at Slaithwaite band room......... yes, you heard right............. for the next meeting the venue has changed to slaithwaite band room. If you need directions, just email me at lisa@irbaby.com.
In brief the bid is to run a series of arts events from april - november:
• holding an arts market (one off initially, then reviewed
regarding an ongoing plan)
• an arts pub walk (in the style of the host event where you
follow a trail over a weekend and can view art works in local
pubs and watch short performances/street art etc)
• holding an arts in the park event in the summer - this would
be a free event for anyone to attend where they could try their
hand at some creative activity, e.g. sculpting, weaving,
photography, puppetry, wood working, modelling etc.
• a film project - working with residents to make a short film celebrating elements of life in this valley - including memories of childhood, working in the mills, landscape , weather etc. To be shown in a range of local venues e.g. pubs/evening event/schools and possibly shown outdoors as a one-off outdoor cinema event.
