Project Phoenix – Studio Volunteers assemble!

Join our visual arts Carnival team this summer and enjoy studio time packed full of creativity, brews, and biscuits! We have a host of opportunities on offer from non-skilled tasks for enthusiastic friends and helpers right through to paid skilled work for industry specialists. Whoever you are and whatever you’ve done before, we’d love to offer you the chance to paint or make something and claim a little corner of Global Grooves’ history as we become fully immersed in our post-fire recovery project.

We’ll be making incredible puppets and giant flags to be performed at a number of events this summer including:

Blue Dot Festival

Manchester Mega Mela

Kendal Calling

Cotton Clouds

CarFest South

and more to be announced!

Volunteers are welcome every day at our studio to share energy, laughs, and time with our artist team from now until the 26th July.
Please note: there will be no activity on 10th & 17th June, or 20th-22nd July.

We’ll be doing a ‘Big Batik’ from 18th June till 1st July where our focus will be batiking flags, star wings, all and costumes – it’s going to look incredible and we hope you can be part of it.

A third push will be decorating the beasts! This will happen the week of 9th July – 15th July; we will certainly be offering a more-the-merrier approach for this week!

We’ll also be looking for performers to strut your stuff with us at an event this summer.
