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. 
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!
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 !
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.

We will be holding the ART TENT at the Headland 2018 festival held at The Hulleys, a farm just north of Scarborough, and there for the full weekend! 24-26 August. we are all very excited to be there and the art activities available will only be limited by our imaginations! lots of beautiful glittery things to do!
Tickets to the event are available on The Ticket Fairy website … go on, you can find it!
ATY will be present at the annual Community fair held in Scarborough Centre – Our Stall will be outside BonMarche on Westborough… Come along and support us. We will be wearing our new ATY branded T shirts which is pretty astonishing considering our aversion to anything corporate!
What a delight to be able to offer sessions on Art Therapy to each of their 3 mixed year classes on Art Therapy. Information , discussions, experiential art making, and Q&A with the children.Top marks Scotton Lingerfield Primary School .
We are thrilled to be able to introduce our new look Monday group. This is running on from our Monday art group for Adults with Learning Difficulties and is funded through the SANTANDER Discovery Grant . This support means this group can continue to meet now for at least another year. Special thanks to Edward for his contribution to the beautiful poster, and to the group for coming up with the name. 
Sue was invited to contribute to the Springtide Conference Prayer for Scarborough recently. We provided a resource table for reflective art making within St Marys and were delighted by the responses of those attending the conference. We would also like to thank those organising the event for their contribution towards our costs.
Another big shout out of thanks.
The Crossgates Coffee morning made a collection for us and presented us with £75. This was even more delightful as it was completely out of the blue. Thank you so much.
