Launch of new support network for emerging and creatives in Lancaster and Morecambe The City Council, Lancaster University and Lancashire Artists Network are teaming up to launch a network for emerging creatives in Lancaster and Morecambe area. As well as regular sessions offering targeted practical help and advice on setting up a creative business, the Young Creatives Network offers the opportunity for people to come together to discuss ideas and pursue avenues for new work and collaboration. The network is open to anyone from the following sectors: advertising, craft, architecture, design, designer fashion, film & video, games, marketing, music, performing arts, publishing, TV & Radio and visual arts. |
Individuals must either have been trading for under three years, be just setting up or have a serious commitment to starting out as a creative practitioner. A selection of creatives involved in the network will also have the opportunity to n display their work as part of a Christmas selling exhibition at the Peter Scott Gallery. Bill Kindon, Principal Economic Development Officer for the City Council said: We are delighted to be partnering with LAN and the Grow Creative project at the University to establish this network. There is a wealth of creative activity taking place in the Lancaster area and its important for us to connect people now for when the Storey Creative Industries Centre opens next year as part of the move to make Lancaster a hub for CI and somewhere people really feel they want to stay and can successfully grow their businesses. Any emerging or young businesses interested or finding out more should contact the Grow Creative Project Manager, Charlotte Stuart 01524 593412 c.stuart@lancs.ac.uk | |

Sizzle is back
with a vengeance, ready to help steer the Creative Industries forward to

Wray Scarecrow Festival. usually in May WWW Scarecrows |
Wray Scarecrow Festival. All through the winter the quaintly snowed-in rural folk of Wray Village have been eccentrically passing the time engaged in their indigenous craft - making fabulous scarecrows! The streets, lanes and alleyways of this picturesque village will be populated by tableaux and fantasy creations on all kinds of themes - politics, TV and more. I think we can expect some royal scarecrows for sure. There will be delicious and cheap home-made refreshments in Wray Institute all week. There will be a display of costumes and flowers 'Moments in Time' with music at Holy Trinity Church. David and Goliath Rap Mon-Fri Wray school 11am + 2pm. The Festival kicks off today with the St George's Day celebrations, and finishes with the big fair on May Monday. Don't miss this. You just have to go. If our council had any sense they'd organise special buses. See www.wrayvillage.co.uk/scarecrows.htm for a stack of info or tel: 01524 32878. |
