QUBE venue and gallery August newsletter

Dear Blogger

August news and updates from QUBE

Latest news and updates from Qube

Hello from us all at Qube! 

We are currently in the process of carefully reopening our building. Dial-a-Ride will be back operating a reduced service this August, with the aim of returning to a full service in September if it is safe to do so.

We've recently been able to take small groups of members from our social groups to the park and local cafes for a much needed catch up - many haven't been out since March. Those who are not quite ready to go out yet are still receiving regular phone calls from us.

Our gallery has a brand new exhibition and we hope to open this to the public on reduced hours from mid August. Please call us for opening times or keep an eye on our social media pages. 
There is lots of new content on our website, including exhibitions, stories, creative ideas and videos. You can vote for your favourite artwork in our Qube Open People's Choice prize too.

If you would like to speak to us about anything please get in touch. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.

Here are some of our latest opportunities and services...

Qube Arts Open exhibition 2020

Our Qube Arts Open exhibition is now online! We hope to be able to open our doors soon but in the meantime you can see this year's entries online, all on the theme 'Reflections'. You can also find out more about the artists and vote for your People's Choice Favourite online too. Click here to see the entries...

Get Creative! Online resources and ideas
Looking for creative things to do during lockdown? We're putting links, ideas and templates on our website. New this month is a series of creative activities inspired by walking by Oswestry based artist Emily Wilkinson. This activity is part of our 'Good things to do at home project'.

Can you help us? 
We've been keeping in touch with members of our social groups over the phone while the groups are temporarily suspended. We're now in need of more telephone volunteers to help us do this. Can you spare a bit of time each week to help? Please call us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk for more information.

Online exhibitions
We've had more works sent in to our Creativity in Isolation online exhibition this month. This exhibition showcases the range of ways people have been staying creative during lockdown. You can see all the works and our four other online exhibitions by clicking here...

Staff Stories 
Qube is all about people so we thought it was time to introduce you to some of the incredible people who make Qube what it is. We've asked all the staff and trustees to tell us a bit about themselves and life under lockdown. Click here to meet the team...
