Changes to the BLP Art Collective

It's been a while since the last update as there have been some pretty important changes taking place. The supporting artists who helped to set up the Collective and ran it on a voluntary basis have limited time due to new personal commitments, so it has been arranged that from the start of April the BLP Art Collective will be managed by Green Prospects social enterprise.

Green Prospects have lots of experience arranging community events and their staff have been facilitating BLP art sessions since last year. There are some very exciting plans for new sessions, public art, and work with the animal centre over the coming months so watch this space! Weekday sessions are going to continue as normal; however the last Sunday drop-in will take place on the 10th of May and will not be held again until further notice.

Below is a selection of recent work produced by the Art Collective:
