Artlink at LIPPfest Fringe Festival

We are proud to announce that Artlink will be hosting a workshop at the LIPPfest Fringe Festival at the Carriageworks Theatre on 24th September.  This will mark the culmination of a 10-week project, working with adult mental health service users, exploring creative writing, visual arts and set design all within the theme of 'new beginnings', tieing in well with our move back to our building and our re-launch.  I've included some info below about the festival, if you're free please do come along and say hello!  Hayley
