Creative Scene launch Brigantia Artists North Kirklees

BANK is a new initiative from Creative Scene, bringing together the arts community in and around North Kirklees.

A place for creative practitioners of all kinds who are interested in creative people and places, BANK will include a regular monthly meet up (online, if we can’t meet in real life) with artists’ talks, professional development, exhibitions and residency opportunities.

To launch BANK, we’ve been talking to artists based in our area – about their work and how they got started, what they have been up to during Lockdown, and taking a tour around their studios.

Our first spotlight is on Pauline Leitch, a visual artist and storyteller. Pauline’s journey to becoming an artist has been full of twists and turns She is also the new Co-Event Director at Dewsbury parkrun.
