40 years of Mid Pennine Arts

[Arty lady]

40th Anniversary Celebrations

2006 sees the Ruby anniversary of Mid Pennine Arts. There will be celebratory events throughout the year and an exhibition of past work in the gallery from the 8th July - 12th August, 2006.

If you have any stories about your involvement with Mid Pennine Arts throughout the years or you have any photographs of work that you've done through an MPA project let us know.

We're looking for past employees, members and artists who have been involved with projects to get in touch with us. We would love to see any pictures of any involvement and hear about your days with Mid Pennine Arts. We'd especially love to hear from any adult who participated in a Mid Pennine Arts event whilst they were younger.

We want the whole exhibition to be a reminder of the good work that Mid Pennine Arts has done over the years and a celebration of the number of people who have been involved.

We're also looking for people to submit poems about what they were doing in 1966 - it needn't be about MPA, just yourself and your life at that time. The best will be published on the Mid Pennine Arts website.
