Community Art Club

Community Art Club is an event for everyone to come together and make art.

Once a month we gather at the Miners Welfare Hall in Garforth and use different artistic methods and materials to explore our own creativity.

Families and individuals can work independently or together to support artistic growth in a relaxed, supportive environment.

For regular updates visit @pennyscommunityarts on Instagram or Facebook.

Animated Activism: Women Empowered

An exhibition to get angry about.

From the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s to the present day, discover the vital work of two pioneering organisations. 

In 1974, an activist collective of nearly 40 women’s refuges come together. They form a women-led national network – the Women’s Aid Federation of England.
