Hello from us all at Qube...

We're busy planning events and activities for this year. Details of our upcoming exhibitions, including a Claude Cahun: Beneath this Mask touring exhibition from Southbank Centre, can be found here. Over the next couple of weeks we will be adding more workshops and courses online, from drawing and painting to pottery and dance. Are there any courses you would like to see in our programme? Get in touch and let us know!

Are you a keen photographer? The deadline for our photography competition is fast approaching. The theme this year is 'Identity'. All entries will go on display in an exhibition at Qube. There's a £100 Best in Show prize and a £20 People's Choice prize! The under 16s winner will receive a selection of art materials. Deadline for entries is 12th February. Full details and entry forms can be found here...

Our social groups are as popular as ever on both a Tuesday and Thursday. As well as activities such as origami and quizzes, we are also inviting guest speakers to talk to our members about energy prices, money advice and local health services. Our Dial-a-Ride service is operating as normal too. If you struggle to access public transport and do not have your own vehicle get in touch to see if we can help.

Please feel free to call or email us if we can help you or someone you know. You can contact us on 01691 656882 or email info@qube-oca.org.uk.

Here is some of our latest news and services...
