THERE will be a colourful stampede of elephants across Lincoln this summer.

Elmer and his friends have been invited to the city by Lincoln Business Improvement Group to create a Big Art Parade which will be the backdrop for a host of arty and fun activities across the summer.

Created by David McKee for youngsters, the muchloved patchwork Elmer will lead the parade of 12 painted pachyderms representing works by famous artists, such as Monet’s Water Lilies (right hand elephant). Turn to page

Saturday 15th June 2024 from 12noon. Brayford Waterfront, Lincoln.

What's On Where Guide Stalls,Games &Activities A Family Day Out!

Ready for a trunk load of summer fun?

From page 1.

There will be a trail leaflet available from collection points across the city, with activity pages and competitions.

As well as brightening up the city with installations at 12 locations Elmer and friends will also provide the backdrop to the Summer of Fun – Saturday, July 20, to Saturday, August 31.

This is a programme of activities for children of all ages to meet authors, make Elmer related crafts and much more. Crafty fun will be taking place at Lush, Waterstones, Waterside Centre, Shelf Editions, Lincoln Museum and Central Library.

Sharon Stone, Corporate Manager at Lincoln BIG said: ‘This colourful trail of Elmer and friends will bring fun and laughter to the city and celebrate everything that makes Lincoln so wonderful.

“This is a free outdoor walking trail, which is great for kids and their grown-ups to enjoy across the summer together, with the free activities being run by businesses in the city creating a partnership.”

More events continue to be added, to the schedule so check the Lincoln BIG website (top of page) to download an updated programme from July 15

On Saturday, July 27, Elmer will be visiting the city to take part in the parade and children are invited to take part dressed in their favourite character costume and make an Elmer mask at one of the hubs before parading from the Waterside Centre to Central Library.

There will be prizes for the best costumes and masks in different age groups.

Mary Jane Booth centre manager at the Waterside said Elmer’s arty events were a perfect fit for its offering to youngsters.

“We usually run Kids’ Clubs every Thursday during the school holidays so families are used to coming to the Waterside Centre for activities.

“We also get preschool groups coming in for our free activites, so we’re looking forward to being part of the Summer of Fun. Our events are held between 11am and 3pm and there’s no need to bookjust turn up on the day.”

Lincoln Museum is staging a Summer of Fun Trail from July 23August 31 at £3 per entry, while at Lincoln Central Library there will be a chance to meet children’s author Bethany Walker, creator of Do Lions Hate Haircuts?, Olly Brown, God of Hamsters and Chocolate Milk, X-Ray Specs and Me. Bethany will be running fun craft activities inspired by her books, which will be suitable for all ages. Other author events are in the pipeline so keep an eye on the website, www.lincolnbig.co.uk

Bring on the Calendar Girls

THE Asylum Players’ production of the archetypical British comedy Calendar Girls can be seen at The Blue Room over the last two weekends of July.

Written by Tim Firth it tells the story of a group of ‘middle-aged women going nuts’.

After losing her husband to the big C Anni and her best friend Chris decide to raise money to replace the worn-out sofa of the local hospital and the women of Knapely WI decide that a calendar of misty Yorkshire bridges might not cut it.

So, what to do instead? Bake sale? Tombola? Naked calendar?

Buns, baps, and euphemisms of all kinds will be running wild in this latest version of the true story of female friendship, crazy situations and local community

Stephen Gillard, Artistic Director of The Blue Room and Asylum Players: “Some shows are just so wonderfully British that they become instant classics. Calendar Girls is one of these. It makes you laugh, it makes you tear up and it makes you think.

“We’ve all been affected by cancer in some way and nothing typifies the British spirit more than finding a way to laugh in the face of these situations. Calendar Girls is that spirit on the stage.”

A donation from ticket sales and programme sales will be made to Macmillan Cancer Research.

The play can be seen July 18-20 and July 25-27 starting at 7.30pm at The Blue Room, Union Road, Lincoln, LN1 3BU, tickets from £20. www.lawnlincoln.com

Deadline for virtual art exhibition

THE first Lincolnshire Open Art Exhibition has now gone live giving artists a chance to see how their work will be promoted to a national and international audience.

The deadline for submitting a piece of work for the exhibition on the Open Art Lincs (OPAL) website (www.openart-lincs.com ) is mid-June. Artists considering entering can visit

the website, enter the virtual gallery and follow the instructions to navigate around the exhibition.

“The longer term aim for the virtual exhibition is to have a county-wide portal where as many artists as possible can have their own space,” explained OPAL founder Kevin Byron.

“When any pieces are sold another one can be uploaded. There are no fees or commission charges and the exhibition will remain in place indefinitely.”

Queer creativity celebrated during city’s Pride month

CREATIVE events seeking to amplify Lincolnshire’s LGBTQ+ voices by showcasing queer talent will mark the beginning of Pride month.

This takes place across the UK in June and students, staff and alumni from the University of Lincoln are taking part in the celebrations through contributions of creative work the public can enjoy. Obscene Pomegranate is a Lincoln-based magazine and online platform that promotes the work of queer artists, writers and creatives, run by Emily Collyer (MA Fine Art student) and Cat Anderson (MA Arts and Cultural Management student).

Cat said: “We are delighted to share our second issue of Obscene Pomegranate this Pride month, filled with incredible submissions from Lincoln and beyond. We have always been in awe of the support that has surrounded us as an organisation.”

Issue One of Obscene Pomegranate was launched in February 2023, featuring work from 30 creatives. Issue Two has been available to buy from 1 June 2024, when it will be displayed at Spare Me the Details, an intimate arts exhibition at General Practice which is an artists’ event space in the city. The pink-infused display at General Practice will feature work from artists Emily Collyer, Will Thompson, Luna Rosson and a commission produced by Melody Phelan-Clark, all studying Fine Art at the University of Lincoln.Open and free to all, the exhibition represents a significant step in the students’ journeys as artists while enabling the public to see the work of fresh up-and-coming artistic talent from their own city.

Spare Me the Details art exhibition will be open until June 9 at General Practice, Clasketgate, Lincoln.

Submissions of paintings, drawings, photography, or 3D in any medium (eg sculpture, ceramics, or textiles) can be submitted on the artist’s interpreation of the theme This is Real!
