AN ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
THE ART & MINDS PROJECT
IN KILLAMARSH
Ian Judson who rns the project
keeps us updated.
Hi Everyone
Art & Minds sll has a home in the village but
in the last 12 months we have moved from
our previous base on Bridge Street to our new
premises across the road at 46 Bridge Street,
which was previously the Barber’s shop next
to the Post Office.
As before, we have transformed the old
Barber’s shop into a creave and well-being
studio which I hope everyone will come and
see.
We sll have the garage, workshop and
community gardens to the rear of the new
hub and they are sll going strong since we
opened them over 3 years ago.
As in previous years we are growing plants
and these will be available to buy aer Easter
when they are ready. So come along and see
what we have to offer.
Ruby Webb, who aends our project, has
been producing lots of items showcasing her
art skills and she donates them to the
Barnardos and Ashgate charity shops in our
village to help with their fundraising. Do
come along and see her work and perhaps
buy a piece of her artwork.
Everyone is welcome to come along and say
hello. Our project connues to help so many
people with their mental health and
loneliness.
We are open to all ages and the friendship
and support for each other is amazing.
So come along and say hello – perhaps you
could learn a new skill or cra. Or, of course,
you can come along as a volunteer. You will
be made very welcome.
If you would like to visit our shop or would
like more informaon about our project,
don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
