The Whistle Art Stop

01/04/2026

Can I extend a huge THANK YOU to those who have supported the Whistle Art Stop over the last 15 years! We had a fun time, especially when we were in Haltwhistle with so many projects and exhibitions. An even bigger THANK YOU to all the people who helped run it - those who were on the Board of Trustees; those who helped run the exhibitions; those who relentlessly turned up every week to help out in any way that they could and of course all of the parents of the youngsters who filled the yard with noisy fun! Thank you thank you.

Although the company is closing down now, I will still be going on as a freelance artist doing my own work and running workshops. So watch this space!
