Hello from us all at Qube...
Welcome to our December newsletter!
Have you been to see our latest exhibition yet? Our galleries are filled with beautifully made arts and crafts, all created by local makers. Support local if possible when shopping for Christmas gifts this year and pick up some unique handcrafted gifts from independent artists and makers.
We're currently finalising our new 2022 course programme and will be adding dates and details online soon. In the meantime we still have a few places left on our Art History and PaintAble courses and we have added additional Untutored Life Drawing dates.
We have a new addition to our team this month. Nia Lloyd has joined us as our new Funding Officer. We are very much looking forward to working with her!
