Mother T’s community centre is an arts venue based in Laxey which is partnering the Creative Network for this year’s festival. The facility has provided many creative opportunities for local people over the years through jam sessions, art exhibitions, craft workshops, poetry evenings and much more. The exhibition space has been designed to be accessible to all local artists wishing to experience staging their own exhibition. “We believe that having the opportunity to put on your own exhibition is an invaluable experience for developing skills and building confidence. All ages and abilities are welcome.”
During the festival, Mother T's will be showing an exhibition by young local artist Alice Crellin. Mother T’s is on the main road through Laxey, situated next door to the old Isle of Man Bank. Open Wednesdays 12 - 4, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays 10 - 4 |
