In 2016, HarmonyChoir started out as a research project at the University of Edinburgh to study the benefits of singing in a choir for mental health, and to change negative perceptions of mental ill health in the choir, and in the wider community. It was set up as an inclusive choir with members from different mental health backgrounds. By popular demand, the choir is still ongoing. We are a non-auditioning choir and are open to new members! We rehearse in Monday nights, currently online.

An art exhibition created by Helen Walsh in the windows of a shop unit in Dumfries and invitation to make a creative response to be added to the ongoing exhibition reflecting on your hopes, dreams and ambitions for your community post-COVID.

Peacock themed piece of art using both natural and synthetic materials

Art Buff, the artwork by Banksy, was originally installed in Folkestone in 2014 with Banksy stating the work as”part of the Folkestone triennial. Kind of”.Art Buff was on display for barely a month before being removed from the wall and shipped for sale in the United States. Following a legal campaign by Creative Folkestone the artwork was reclaimed and has now returned to the town.The artwork, which shows a woman gazing at an empty plinth, sparked the idea for Creative Folkestone to create The Plinth.

From Friday 18 September to Sunday 8 November, 10 vacant plinths will be placed in beautiful and unique, outdoor locations around Folkestone. Creative Folkestone is inviting residents and visitors to find a plinth and to use them to display their lockdown creations, artistic talents and special objects in celebration of Folkestone, community and creativity.

People are invited to find a plinth in Folkestone, display their work, take a picture and share it on social media to become part of a big online exhibition. Alongside the empty plinths, there are also three specially commissioned plinths with works by local artists Malcolm Allen, Maureen Jordan and Tomas Poblete.

In addition, there will be a performance plinth painted on the floor of Payers Park by street artist Toze One. The performance plinth will host a curated programme of music, dance, spoken word and more.

Despite the barriers presented by Covid-19, Creative Folkestone are continuing to find ways to put creativity at the heart of daily life both online and in person.

Creative Folkestone have been busy working with schools and community partners across the town to ensure that as many people as possible can take part. This includes 16 schools that will each receive a plinth for a week during the project to use as an educational and creative tool. Plus, Young Carers, Age UK, Mind, Homestart and The Shed youth centre will also receive art packs and resources as a starting point for making. Online resources will also be available to get creative at home.

#FolkestonePlinth

Cyanotype printing (also known as blue printing) is one of the oldest forms of photography. Researchers from the EPSRC/MRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Optical Medical Imaging (OPTIMA), shared between Edinburgh and Strathclyde Universities, use light and chemistry to diagnose and detect disease. However, this weekend we’d like to invite folks to create their own images combining blueprint paper, sunlight, and found objects around the house and garden. We can’t wait to see what you make!

We will be sharing images of chemistry research on our Facebook page to inspire folks to make quilt blocks (or entire quilts, if you feel like it!) These quilts will then be donated to adult patients who are being treated for pancreatic cancer. The hope is to give patients a comforting, quilt-y hug, whilst also raising awareness of research into, and the signs & symptoms of, pancreatic cancer amongst quilters.

Show us your makes over the weekend via the Twitter hashtag #Quilts4Cancer

A fantastic showcase of 400 ‘dangerous pockets’. People are invited to come and chat (no more than 4 in a group at a time are permitted entry due to covid). Why pockets?

What will you make your pocket out of, and what will you put in it? Feel free to have a mini fun palace at home and bring your pockets to hang with the others at Number 22! Starts on the first weekend in October – and runs for all of October so don’t worry if you can’t make it on the first weekend. The Dangerous Pockets Exhibition kindly shared by Paula MacGregor. Due to Covid please ensure all guidelines are followed and please don’t come along if you have any symptoms or are living with anyone with any symptoms.

Create a mini personal icon to take home and it will also become part of a digital gallery. This event is part of a much bigger project by The Splendid Sisters called The Splendid Hut.
