We will not share your ideas outside of the session space \nAbout the Peterborough team\nIn Peterborough\, our team have a background working in community roles\, artist spaces or as practicing artists. We have experience developing and delivering participatory projects with artists\, organisations and local communities\, as well as developing activities with young people and arts for health and wellbeing. We’ve supported artists in a wide range of creative disciplines\, including artists who are in the early stages of their career and have a vast knowledge of Peterborough\, Cambridgeshire and Fenland. We have experience in supporting artists with their funding applications including Arts Council England.  \nAbout Creative Fenland\n“Creative Fenland\, Karen Alivez & Alan Seiglow\, are two artists based at the REMO Eco Hub in March. They are passionate about supporting artists\, writers\, and makers through events\, networking opportunities and creative development activity. They also run workshops and creative activities for the wider Fenland community.  The space aims to provide an accessible\, welcoming environment for creativity\, conversation and community connection across Fenland. REMO Eco Hub is a sustainability-focused community space that brings together local organisations\, creative activity and community support within the town centre of March\, Fenland.”  \nCreative Fenland has been awarded funding from Cambridge Community Foundation and the University of Cambridge to continue its work in Fenland. Following the decision to close Cambridge Community Arts\, projects will be hosted by Support Cambridgeshire which will work in partnership with 20Twenty Productions to continue a provision of arts activities in Fenland\, with artists & creative producers: Karen Avilez and Alan Seiglow. \n“We strongly believe that everyone within our community has the right to access the arts in whatever capacity that is relevant to them. A way of bringing these artistic techniques to people is to reach out to local art practitioners who are willing to share their expertise. This leads to our belief of also providing artists with ways of engaging with their communities – if they wish – and putting themselves on the spotlight so that their work is seen and valued”.
