COMMUNITY GRANTS: THE ARTS SOCIETY BURY ST EDMUNDS

Using a Comminuty Grant, The Arts Society Bury St Edmunds supported Howard Community Academy and well-known local artist Alfie Carpenter to work with the children. Alfie Carpenter specialises in mixed-media collage, a technique well-suited to working with groups and children. They worked together to produced large murals.
