As part of the weekend, residents will be introduced to the creative use of digital technologies, such as scanners, colour printers, digital cameras and computers, and will be shown how to create digital images from their own photographs, drawings or historical materials. A digital projector has been loaned to the group for the weekend by Nottinghamshire-based multimedia company E.O.L. so that work from the project can be projected to an audience. A similar event held a couple of weeks ago, where a group of Wymeswold school children worked with visual and sound artists, proved a tremendous success, and I'm sure that this weekend will be just as well received. The weekend has been coordinated by Charnwood Arts, a community arts organisation, and the Gallery of the Future, a digital arts agency supported by Loughborough University, Leicestershire County Council and East Midlands Arts. The workshops will take place on Saturday 24 March, from 10am until 3.30pm, at Wymeswold Church of England Primary School, and from 12 noon until 3.00pm on Sunday 25 March at the Three Crowns Pub, Wymeswold.
All events are free.
