On the First Sleigh of Christmas onthefirstsleighofchristmas

On Saturday 10th December from 11-4pm Pedestrian Window Curators will be hosting a drop-in workshop, with artist Sally Lemsford.

Held at:

LCB Depot

31 Rutland Street

Cultural Quarter

Leicester
LE1 1RE
It will be a collaborative effort to showcase the diverse cultures and celebrations of Leicester during this festive season.

We want you to help us make and decorate a festive Sleigh, with things that remind you of Christmas. Whether it's last years old Christmas cards or crinkled sweet wrappers...if you bring it along...or make it here...it will all help to show what Leicester can 'make' of the festive period.

Window Curators are inviting you to frop off donations of gifts for the Sleigh which will be presented to Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young people on Friday 16th December.

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Getting Ready for the Next Experience

During this Saturday the Window had a very exciting and progressive consult in the Pedestrian Gallery. The talks were about our next experience that we can reveal will be called ‘Torch’ and will be taking place over 29th June – 9th July.

We have a meeting this evening just to firm a few bits up and then we are off.

A short post but full of suspension as all will be revealed on Wednesday.

See you back here then!

In some industries there is becoming a culture of ‘…if I don’t volunteer, someone else will’. This is a prominent stance that many individuals in the arts sector often take….but is that necessarily a bad thing? Should we v..
