It’s been great to see how the ‘Making A Mural’ co It’s been great to see how the ‘Making A Mural’ collaborative sessions for Eye Village has been developing.

This set of four creative workshops/sessions has been focusing on the design and soon to be installation of a mural/ outdoor art/ street improvement in Eye village.

Through the sessions, the young people have explored their creativity, collabed with others, experiment with scaling up their artwork, and help to decide on a location for the mural.  They will also decide on the final design and will be invited to help paint or install the mural too, which will be in August 2026.

There is just ONE session in the series left! 
Join us on Monday 27th July from 5:30-8pm.

Each week is led by illustrator, artist and photographer Emily Bowers.

All materials will be provided.
Cost: FREE but please book via the Eye Gets Green webpage

We are thrilled to be supporting our friends Glads We are thrilled to be supporting our friends Gladstone Connect - Allama Iqbal Centre who have received funding from @aceagrams  Project Grants to host a series of artist residencies at the Allama Iqbal Centre! 🎉🎉

Their first artist residency will be with their Friday teatime Youth Connect, a group of energetic and inspiring 8-16 year olds. Charley went along to their last session and got the group deciding on what kind of artist they want to work with. They overwhelmingly voted for a film / moving image artist!

All the artist residencies will respond to the works of Allama Iqbal, who the centre is named after. Youth Connect want to explore the themes of justice and/or nature during the project. As such we're looking for an artist who works with film, has experience co-creating high quality creative projects with young people, and someone who either has knowledge of the works of Iqbal, or willing to learn a bit during the process.

Full info about the brief and application process can be found on our linktree, link in bio.

Thanks for sharing a few words (Sandra Keating) ab Thanks for sharing a few words (Sandra Keating) about the Dogsthorpe and Welland Photo walks that turned into these inspiring Photo Exhibitions: 

“What a lovely project and mindful urban photo walk series to have been part of! 
Leading walks alongside Toby Wood in Welland & Dogsthorpe earlier this year for Peterborough Presents and their beginnings of working within these much under represented areas of the city. 

This wasn’t about taking professional pictures or scenic landscapes, it was about creating moments of pause and as a collective capturing unexpected beauty in urban environments. It was about celebrating beauty in the everyday and as Toby’s incredible poem that he read on the Welland walk encapsulated so perfectly, it was nothing more than capturing together “The Glory of The Ordinary”.”

If you would also like to go and see these exhibitions in Dogsthorpe or Welland (or Eye Village too), then go whilst you can, before they are taken down. 

If you have seen them - and would like to share any thoughts, we would love your comments and feedback too. 

Thanks y’all!
