Mid Pennine Arts

Mid Pennine Arts Mid Pennine Arts We bring art, people and places together. Our projects reveal a range of possibilities for creative learning.

Our creative process combines high quality original work with the commitment to engage directly and imaginatively with our communities. A range of key projects draw meaning from and reinforce a powerful sense of place. We bring these essential elements together – a potent mix that characterises our most successful projects. Recent successes like Panopticons and Valley of Stone have demonstrated be

yond doubt the power of art to transform perceptions of a locale. In 2010 we have demonstrated how creative engagement can exert profound effects on the dynamic of a whole community. For Padiham these effects are well documented. Our exemplary creative learning programme has been proven to effect dramatic, measurable improvements in overall attainment. Our work genuinely transforms perceptions. Panopticons provide a new way of looking at Pennine Lancashire. Contemporary Heritage reveals a new view of our heritage treasures. We are extending this approach across all our programmes.

Ahead of Daniel Meadows exhibition: Shuttles, Steam and Soot opening at Bancroft Mill Engine Museum this Saturday (5.9.26), here is Daniel in conversation with Laurie Peake MBE of British Textile Biennial on the 18.7.26 at Queen Street Mill, Burnley. They discussed his life and work and especially his time in East Lancashire 50 years ago, when he photographed the working life in the cotton mills of Lancashire. Many thanks to Mike Smith of Burnley Film Makers for creating a record of this very interesting, and entertaining, event. You can find the details of opening times/days at Bancroft on our website :https://www.pendleradicals.org.uk/daniel-meadows-shuttles-steam-and-soot/
