Olympic Project for Canvey Allan Webb is leading a project celebrating the Olympic
values of respect, friendship and equality. A partnership has been created
between a local school and the Sweetbriars Sheltered Housing Complex to help
build understanding between neighbours. An
exhibition of its output will be held in July 2012. Castle Point Mayor’s Parlour Art Competition For the second year, The Art Ministry has run a
competition for Year 6 pupils to produce a picture for the Mayor’s Parlour. Entries were on display on our stall at the
Castle Point Show on 24th July 2011. Exploring our Past This project was a
collaboration between The Art Ministry and local schools, funded by
the Heritage Lottery Fund, and directed by Reverend Angela Cotton. Local
children interviewed Mary Mitchell, a life long Hadleigh resident, to found
out more about the town’s history. The main output from the project has been a book
about local history in the Castle Point area. Local school children have
produced some of the book’s content and local artists have supplied some of the
illustrations. The project has involved participative events with the local
community. Fabric Collage The Art Ministry’s Fabric Group has produced a
large fabric collage depicting the local area. The collage is based on a
painting by the local artist Ted Rodway. Ted also
runs our Castle Point Art Club sessions. The collage has been presented to the Tyrells
Centre in Benfleet, and hangs in the building. Funding was received from the
Heritage Lottery Fund for this project. test |
