Project Arts Award
Organisation Blue Cabin
A group of care-experienced young artists from South Tyneside and Stockton have had their first taste of working as professional designers, creating a range of limited-edition bags inspired by the North East.
A total of 14 young people aged between 14 and 21 worked with printmaker Michelle Wood and graphic designer Nicola Golightly to design the bags that are for sale online from Blue Cabin, a charity based in Gateshead that uses artist-led activities to help improve the lives of care-experienced children and young people.
The young artists, who all have experience of being in care also achieved a Bronze Arts Award qualification in recognition of the skills they gained. Arts Award qualifications are available at five levels – Discover, Explore, Bronze, Silver and Gold – and support people aged 25 and under to develop as artists and arts leaders.
