Art Builders 2021
Animate Arts wants you and your school to get involved!
June is Art Builders month and we are proud to offer another year of events, projects and resources for primary and SEN schools across the UK. Art Builders is an action campaign programme, led by Animate Arts, to champion more art in schools. We passionately believe that children have the right to access rich, cultural learning as part of their everyday school life. Over 200 schools are pledging to take part this year - will you join them?

Easy like a Sunday Story..
While the doors of TOAST have sadly been closed, Sherry has been being creative with her time.
In a bid to find some pleasant escapism from the pandemic, Sherry is writing a short story each week, which she performs on Youtube every Sunday. The nature of the ‘easiness’ of the stories aptly lends its name to the series; 'Easy Like a Sunday Story’. There have been six episodes so far, with a new one tomorrow.
Or if you prefer, the stories are repeated every Tuesday after the 7pm news on CabinFM and again on Sunday mornings at 8am. The ‘Cabin Stories’ are a few weeks behind, tomorrow’s will be Episode 2.
