Art, a wonderful way to celebrate Acomb, was at the heart of recent sessions held at Lidgett Methodist Church. Over four sessions, Ails McGee, co-director of New Visuality, guided local children in creative activities. We focused on fostering positive vibes, discussing aspirations, and highlighting the importance of keeping the area clean and looking out for one another.
These sessions acknowledged Acomb's priorities as a ward: supporting residents to lead happier, healthier, and longer lives. As a charity, we are committed to providing inclusive activities and connecting residents to each other and their communities.
We are excited to compile all the artwork and digitally display it in Viborg, Denmark, which initiated the "Angels of Hope" brief for fellow UNESCO Cities of Media Arts. We also hope to showcase the art in York's heritage hotspots and, closer to home, at Lidgett Methodist Church.
Acomb's young artists thrived in a top-class venue, inspired by intergenerational conversations and local beauty
