As part of the Arts Council, “The Let’s Create Jubilee Fund”
WARRINGTON-based BloomingArt has been chosen as a community arts project to help celebrate the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.
Thanks to the National Lottery in supporting community organisations to deliver creative activities as part of Her Majesty the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, BloomingArt is honoured to have been chosen via Cheshire Community Foundation on behalf of The Arts Council England to be able to deliver a “phenomenal” project for our Warrington Community.
Together Art Tutors and Artists will conduct research into key historical events from Queen Elizabeth’s reign and examine the tradition of portraiture within the Royal family. Participants will be encouraged to weave into their portraits an aspect of Elizabeth’s history and to represent her personality in their responses. This work will culminate in a personal response ready for an exhibition at BloomingArt.
Also, during the week of Whit there will be 5 days for the whole family to come along and take part in various creative activities.
These will include badge making, book-mark making and ceramics.
These workshops will be run as part of our BloomingArt Community open days. Attendees will be able to take the work made home and keep as special mementoes to capture and celebrate this amazing occasion.
Gail Stubbings from BloomingArt said: “We also would like letter writing and card making so our community has the chance to make magic happen by letting our Queen know how much she is loved by her people. These will be beautifully made, embossed, and embellished.”
The portrait workshops started on Monday 18th April 2022 and the main Queen’s Platinum Celebrations will run during Whit week.
