Kirkby Lonsdale Community Interest Company is working with visual arts organisation, Green Close, to launch free art and wellbeing taster workshops in the town this week. The Phoenix Rising programme is one of only 37 organisations nationally to have received a Thriving Communities grant from the National Academy for Social Prescribing, Arts Council England, Natural England and Historic England. And the initiative will give residents the opportunity to socialise and recharge in a safe creative space as lockdown restrictions ease. The art tasters will take place online at first, starting with the four-week photography workshop Gratitude Gallery on April 30 and a two-week map-making workshop Myths & Legends on May 2.
