Save the dates! 📌🗓️✍️ Our next series of River/ Flow/ Connect workshops and events are here — and these are all the dates you need to mark in your calendar. (Psst… our first online webinar is tomorrow, 5pm - 7pm! Sign up via the link below ⬇️) Each session is connected and designed to build on the last, so the more you join, the more you’ll gain. Together, we’re growing a local cohort to shape and see this journey through to July. With a mixture of webinars, in-person workshops and celebration events; there's something for everyone. 🌀 Come to as many as you can — we’d love to have you with us. What is River/ Flow/ Connect? 🦢 River / Flow / Connect is a Bedford Creative Arts project inviting residents of Kempston, Queen’s Park, Kingsbrook & Cauldwell, and Great Denham to connect with the River Great Ouse through creative workshops and public art. Over time, the project aims to install community-designed sculptures along the river, celebrating local stories and encouraging riverside activity. This project is generously funded and made possible by National Lottery Community Fund, Arts Council England, The Harper Trust and Bedford Borough Council.

Here's a sneak peek of what we got up to at the weekend! Don't worry if you couldn't make it - because we're hosting a free webinar tomorrow evening that builds upon the themes we discovered at the workshops. Artist Sam Williams will be discussing all things 'public art', with a particular focus on what you'd like to see down by Great River Ouse. Whether you're bursting with sculpture ideas or simply want to know more about the role of public art in our communities; we'd love to see you there. ❤️ Grab your free spot here: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/bedford-creative-arts/public-art-what-is-it-who-makes-it-and-who-is-it-for/e-qdakqj (fb)
