For one night only @blimeycollective will share work and ideas from 'Please Do Not Bend' - our most recent exploration of collective practice.
Between 5-8pm Sunday 2nd July we'll be in Middlesbrough with @theauxiliaryprojectspace at their space on Station Road.
Come and see what we've been up to!

A year since we announced our #DoverPrizeaward, our collective practice culminated in an inspiring collage workshop with the amazing @bettiehopedesign 💪

I’ve had an absolutely fabulous afternoon running a collage workshop for the @blimeycollective as part of their Dover Prize. The collages were inspired by the gorgeous letters they wrote to each other. Follow the @blimeycollective to see the big reveal of the work created today and beyond!
If you would like to book me for a workshop in the North East get in touch.
I have experience working with young people, adults, people with dementia, mental ill health, physical disabilities/ difficulties and also people with learning disabilities/ difficulties.

It's official Celebrating Hidden Middlesbrough is live and has a new home at the Masham Hotel. ⠀
⠀
Over the next two years, we'll be creating and presenting community events, art exhibitions, workshops and a range of projects that are all inspired by Middlesbrough’s history. From the buildings, to the people and the heritage archives in museums.⠀
⠀
Nicola, Vicky and James from @NavigatorNorth are on a mission to uncover perhaps familiar, perhaps little-known stories from the history and heritage of Linthorpe Road and beyond.⠀

If you fancy hearing me and my northern accent talking about being an artist and my experience last year as director of @navigatornorth and @blimeycollective
artist, then check out my interview on the Teesside Rising YouTube channel. Lots of other artists and creatives on there too, with 230 interviewees as part of the project.

Navigator North is 10 years old!
We couldn’t let the year pass without a little celebration of of our 10th birthday.
About a year ago we were thinking of ways we might celebrate this ‘in person’ with friends, colleagues, partners, artists and studio holders, but for obvious reasons 2020 hasn’t quite gone to plan…
Not to be deterred we wanted to say thank you to everyone who has worked with us, supported us, given us opportunities and been part of some amazing projects with us over the last 10 years. We might shout about this some more next year but for now please enjoy a slice of our virtual cake and here's to other 10 years!
Best wishes James, Vicky and Nicola
