Art Bite

VIEW PROJECT GALLERY

Art Bite ran during October 2009 as part of the Learning Festival (a government initiative to get adults back into learning). Action Factory was asked to put on art taster sessions for adults in the borough of Blackburn with Darwen. 

A number of workshops were held all around Blackburn and Darwen in community centres, children's centres, and other locations including the Action Factory building. 

The activities on offer were varied and people tried their hand at mosaics, batik, photography, creative writing, music, singing and dance as well as working with electronics and circuitry. 

All sessions were free and aimed at adults aged 19 and up. 

Hundreds of people took part in these activities and many were encouraged to pick up a new interest and return to learning.

The photography workshop helped to document some of the activities and their pictures can be view on a special flickr group.
