PROJECTS
KNITTING FOR CHRISTMAS
02 December 2024
This winter, we are knitting with support from Erica Johnson (Aircon Group) and her knitting group as well as Durham Loopy Lady knitters group, the newly formed Redcar Contemporary Art Group are responding to the Energy crisis by creating a Christmas Tree with hand knitted scarves. When the tree comes down, in January, all the scarves will be passed to people who wish to have one.
CREATING LAND ART
28 November 2023
Together with 42 primary school children from Dormanstown, we have created some land art on the Redcar beach. Their collaborative mini land art sculptures will be exhibited from 8 Dec. 2023
HELP EACH OTHER CAMPBELL SOUP PROJECT
6 March 2023
The Help Each Other Campbell Soup SOUP Project is our response to the cost of living crisis. Individually hand wrapped soup cans are piled up in the planters by the friends of the Redcar Contemporary Art Gallery to be taken and added to. This initiative lasted till 6 March 2023.
If you’re interested in getting involved, have an idea for a collaborative project, or want to know more about any of our past initiatives, feel free to get in touch. We’re always open to conversation and new connections.
