Creativity Is Contagious
Saturday 16th January - Tuesday 23rd February.
The ‘Creativity Is Contagious’ exhibition began as a Facebook group set up at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic as an opportunity to share creative responses from a wide range of mediums - musical, literary, photography, upcycled pieces, traditional art, textiles…..anything and everything! We did not want to restrict creative expression because there is no limit to imagination and all responses are valid. Out of the darkness of lockdowns and quarantining, we believed that much light would appear.
Under our new name the Good Things Collective, to kickstart 2021, we invited local people to come together to share their creations over the last year to form the first exhibition of a fantastic programme of opportunities for the year ahead.

The Good Things Collective have taken every precaution to keep our community safe during the pandemic whilst still creating opportunities for creativity and connection in these times of uncertainty and isolation.
