Celebrating Local and Community History Month by looking back in time 🏫
We recently found some old photos of our building from its days as a school, so we wanted to share them side-by-side with how the building looks now. A lovely reminder of the history right on our doorstep!
Here are some snaps of the exhibition opening last week...

AIM's current exhibition, The Everyday, brings together the work of some of their groups to explore the power of the everyday, exploring how art can transform the ordinary and mundane into moments of wonder, meaning and artistic fascination.
📅8 May - 6 June
It's Mental Health Awareness Week so why not come along to something that brings you joy?
Also, the website is back and better than ever (just remember to clear your cookies so it loads the new site and not the LinkTree)
Hope to see you soon...
John Robb returns to The Pound next weekend along with special guest Dave Rowntree.

Opening night tomorrow ✨
AIM’s latest exhibition, The Everyday, brings together our Wednesday and Thursday groups in a vibrant collective show exploring the beauty, humour, and meaning in daily life.
This exhibition captures a wide range of personal perspectives - with plenty of colour, playfulness, and bold new work throughout. Behind the scenes, it’s been a hive of activity, with artists putting the finishing touches to works that transform the familiar into something special.
We’ve loved seeing the process unfold. There’s been some big breakthroughs too - including Helen taking on her first ever large-scale painting 👀
📅 8 May – 6 June 2026
🕡 Opening: Thursday 7 May, 6.30pm
📍 Pound Arts Centre
We’d love to see you there.
