A New Direction recently hosted a workshop for teachers, representatives from the cultural sector, and arts practitioners to explore wellbeing centred projects in an arts setting. But what is wellbeing and what does it mean when we bring it into an arts and cultural setting?

Artist! What on earth does that word even mean anyway?

Huguette Caland is a Lebanese artist whose work is currently being exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Tate gallery in St Ives. I visited the exhibition on 26 May 2019.

The Porthmeor Young Artists Exhibition and Competition was aimed at promoting the work of up and coming young Cornish Artists. It was organised by the St Ives School of Painting and hosted in the prestigious Penwith Gallery culminating in the prize giving on 5th April 2019.

Between February and May this year, the Tate St Ives held a retrospective exhibition of works by the Armenian Egyptian Artist Anna Boghiguian. I visited the exhibition on Sunday, 03 March and this is my review of the exhibition. I was inspired by some of the art to create my own work in Copper and Aluminium, a new media form for me.

I hope you enjoy reading this short review. If you want to see some pictures just search Sarah Davies Hidden Revealed. I would have put some in but I'm not sure who they belong to. If you like her art feel free to support her in her artistry; as Sarah is a family friend I know that she has stuggled to earn a living from just art alone but would love to.

At the Imperial War Museum North there is a really interesting sculpture called Crusader. I hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I did writing the review and visiting it!

Welcome in the Chinese New Year of the Pig at the museum with traditional music and dance including Dragon, Lion and Unicorn dance performances.
