What a great group

Congratulations to members of our Santander funded Art of Gold Mondays group.

Edward won first prize at Burniston Fair and wishes to share his additional award with you. This is the Alexandria Ewart trophy, which will take pride of place I’m sure for one year.

Members are also supporting Advocacy Alliance’s silent Art Auction by donating art works.

I am very proud of you all. 

 

Garfield Weston Thank-you

We are truly thrilled to be able to acknowledge the receipt of grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation.This amount, which will substantially cover our core costs for one year will make a huge difference to our ability to serve our community better in 2018/19 year. Updates as to the usage of this fund will come next year! So happy!

Even Busier – Windier Weekend

Headland Festival near Burniston Scarborough – 25/26 August. What great fun! We erected our little gazebo – held together with gaffer tape and cable ties, decorated it with our now indispensible ATY bunting and encouraged all ages to join us for free art making. Saturday was windy, and as the name implies it is on a headland BUT it was perfect for kite making…We estimate at least 50 beautifully coloured and decorated kites were made and flown that weekend. We used glascene paper and willow to avoid plastic litter, and the effects were really lovely against the sky… lets hope someone has some great pictures. Sparkly willow wands were also popular and beautiful no-sew fairy wings.. All I can do at this stage is share our kite instructions. More to come !

Busy weekends!

We were delighted to receive a prize from the Cavalier Scarborough Rotary Club, for our stall at the Scarborough community fair.  Home made bunting in ATY colours. A winner…we thought, although we won third prize.

Holly and Sue in new ATY tee-shirts thanks to Peter’s design work and the excellent service from Yorbrand  Scarborough with the Mayoral and Rotary official party!
