BEST IN SHOW: Holly Scott with her rosette after success in the Showstoppers competition
A BARNARD Castle-based arts charity has been ensuring creativity has not been lost during the ongoing pandemic.
Northern Heartlands has organised a host of activities as part of a project called Creativity in Crisis.
Cash from Arts Council England’s Covid Emergency Fund enabled the charity to recruit professional artists with a range of different skills to organise activities for people of all ages and from very different backgrounds.
Activities have ranged from a project with Year 6 pupils at Middleton-in-Teesdale Primary School to work with artist Gemma McColl to an online creative writing programme for new mums with Durham-based writer Kathryn Goda.
