@ArtsConsett @ace_national @culturebridgene @Artsmarkaward Well done and good luck!

We made it! It's been a very exciting journey. Our report's in and while we wait for the outcome, we're going to continue being #artful and #creative. Watch this space for what comes next! @ace_national @culturebridgene @TheForgeUK @Artsmarkaward

@EmptyShop Recommend @ianpaine he has done loads of work in Durham for us and @Tinarts

Looking for recommendations for video production services to document and promote cultural events. 🎥 Ideally County Durham / NE based. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks! 👍

It's always a pleasure to visit organisations in my constituency and today I visited TheForge NorthEast, based in Stanley Education Centre. I met talented artist Aiden with baby Alice, and Aiden showed me the sculpture they had made.@TheForgeUK

And for #Schools and education settings, the fabulous @TheForgeUK and Hilton Primary talking about how @Artsmarkaward and @ArtsAward complement each other youtu.be/Ehtw6c9Ft2o

We're reviewing how we support the culture and heritage sectors of the county. Involved in the sector? We want to hear from you! Please complete our quick survey here: bit.ly/culturedurhamr… @TheForgeUK @Tinarts @durham_uni #CultureCounty

@ashleyb3ll Well if there is a need for a corner you can build it.

@TheForgeUK 🤣 he's filling in a form! So far no one has thrown mortar at anyone else so no need for a naughty corner

Look how happy I am with my little square of bricks, man

@ShabsAnam @NECulture @culturedurham Yes there will be challenges but I’d rather this investment came into the region than not. Alongside colleagues in the cultural sector, we can play our part in making the case for investment that has the most impact. Did a lot of thinking about need during City of Culture bid!

@ArtsConsett @bevintheforge @ace_national @culturebridgene Congratulations and well done to all the young people!

A VERY BIG 'Well Done' to our first group of #ArtsAward students who've received their certificates and badges this week! #ShoutOut to our friends @TheForgeUK, @bevintheforge and the team for making it a BIG success! @ace_national @culturebridgene #heritage #culture #creativity
