Creative Kirklees Newsletter 12 January 2021

 

Hello everyone

We hope you are managing to keep warm and safe and finding some creative activities to cheer you up during these cold winter days and evenings.

Just a reminder that the online organ concerts by Gordon Stewart that were streamed from Huddersfield Town Hall from September to December are available to watch at any time and for as many times as you like, so please enjoy them again or share the link with anyone who you think might be interested – it’s a great opportunity to see the magnificent Father Willis organ up close.

Also, check out  “January at the Lawrence Batley Theatre” - each weekday they will be sharing a free digital delight to nourish your mind body and soul – a great way to start the New Year with some much needed positivity.

hcmf// are looking to broaden their existing network of freelance workshop leaders, and discover new creative practitioners whose expertise will add value to their Learning & Participation offer – please do share this great opportunity with anyone you think may be interested.  Deadline 31 January.

Lastly, just to mention the Cultural Recovery Fund is now open with its second round of funding with grants available to cultural organisations as they transition back to a viable and sustainable operating model during April-June 2021.  The closing date is 26 January.

Creative Kirklees Newsletter 5 January 2021

 

Happy New Year everyone, and welcome back to our weekly Newsletter.

With another lockdown just announced and the weather decidedly chilly, we will try and bring you as much online activity as we can over the next few weeks.  If you have a profile on the site, please do add any suitable online activities under the Events tab (when adding please remember to choose ‘Online’ under the ‘Event Categorisation’ tab so these can be picked up easily).  If you don’t have a profile but know of any suitable creative activities in the area, please email the information to arts.creativity@kirklees.gov.uk and we will add them for you.

The Arts Society, Huddersfield have a number of really interesting lectures coming up in the year ahead which will all be delivered by Zoom.  From Furniture in Country Houses to Vincent Van Gogh to the Art of Colour in Garden Design are the first few subjects so this gives you some idea of the variety – do take a look!

For anyone thinking about running an event or activity as part of the 2021 WOVEN Festival, there is a great opportunity for you to attend a fundraising workshop this Friday (8 January) – please check this out if you are interested.

There are quite a lot of other Opportunities on the site at the moment, particularly for jobs and funding, so please have a look to make sure you don’t miss anything.

See you next week.  Keep warm and keep safe!
