Hello from us all at Qube...
As we transition into Autumn, we're starting to look for entrants to our annual festive Arts and Crafts fair, which will be taking over all of our gallery spaces from the 1st November onwards. We have a small number of slots available, so if it sounds like something you, or someone you know might be interested in, get in touch at art@qube-oca.org.uk
We've had many new additions to our team over the past couple of months, but we're still on the lookout for a Finance Officer and a Social Prescribing Triage Officer to join us. Would you like to support your community and make a difference to Oswestry and surrounding areas? Find out more online here and give us a call or email for more information.
We have a number of courses coming up soon, including our beginner's sketching sessions with Paul Kielty and wreathmaking and ringmaking sessions with Amy of Rustic and Wild. Keep an eye on our Courses page to stay updated on when these workshops go live.
Full details on all our services can be found on our website. 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.
