What is Connections?
- An exciting creative membership scheme managed by The Forge, the specialist participatory arts organisation for County Durham and Sunderland
- Thanks to investment by Sunderland City Council, Durham County Council and The Forge, a heavily subsidised scheme will be available to you between September 2009 and July 2010 that will only cost from £350 for a package of creative activity
- This year for the first time, we are able to offer schools the opportunity to have an Artist resident in their school for one or two days - the choice is yours! See the Information Sheet and Registration Form for more details
- If you take full advantage of the school, you will receive a package of activity worth over £1,300 from only £350 - Connections is fantastic value for money!
