Welcome to the first Hive brochure of 2015 and another packed programme of events and exciting new projects for the Hive.

Our spring programme offers a vibrant mix of film screenings, live gigs, workshops and children’s theatre, along with a creative environment for people to socialise and share ideas. We are delighted to be hosting The Sea Show, a fun, spellbinding and quirky puppet show for children 4-7 year olds and their families

by Squashbox Theatre during February half-term. The Sea Show is the creation of Craig Johnson, an actor, musician and puppeteer, and long-standing member of Cornwall’s renowned Kneehigh Theatre.

We organise funded arts programmes to work with children and young people, some of whom are vulnerable or at risk.

Our projects and programmes take place both at the Hive and across Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin. During the next 12 months we will be working on a Youth Music-funded programme of activity in partnership with the Music Education Hubs across the region.

This spring sees the start of our Armed Forces Community Covenant-funded project Connect-Create (more details can be found on page 13).

It is the Hive’s vision to support young people – particularly those who are at risk of living in challenging circumstances.

Our aspiration is to develop the role of the Hive as a centre of excellence in delivering arts and cultural events and opportunities for the wider community.

It is getting harder and harder to secure funding for these projects and we need your help. Please donate to our charity so that we can help more children and young people in Shropshire reach their potential.

Please invest in them by sending a text message to 70070, entering HMMA05 £5 to the message field and donating £5. Alternatively you can also send us a cheque or pop in to donate to our collection box.

Please take a moment to check out our new-look website : www.hiveonline.org.uk Alyson Lanning Director

“ In the last 10

years we have worked with over 35,000 children and young people.”

Contemporary Responses to War and Fascism

Horizons in Art and Being Visual Art Exhibition

The greatest power that shapes our time is undoubtedly the power of communication.

It would not be erroneous to name this period “the age of communication,” which has started such a powerful and unstoppable transformation throughout the world that it is impossible for the old or new bastions to resist it.

In this new age that knows of no limits; art and its reach has extended like never before. We are now encircled by a “boundless” horizon. Art, the true definition of free creation, had never had such an extensive field to express itself.

Ahmet Ozel – Istanbul, Turkey Mufit Isler – Istanbul, Turkey Lucka Sparovec – Ljubljana, Slovenia Aleksandr Belugin – Moscow, Russia Svetlana Elantseva-Southorn – Shrewsbury, UK/ Moscow, Russia Helen Svetlana Williams – Welshpool, UK/St. Petersburg, Russia Svetlozar Nedev – Stara Zagora, Bulgaria

Photography & Visual Art Exhibition

Collaborative project by Art International Group with special guests (children) from ‘Rainbow’ Art School in Klimovsk, Moscow.

To commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the end of WWII, the exhibition ‘Contemporary Responses to War and Fascism’ dedicates itself to the memories that have become a distant history for our generation; forgotten is the sacrifice made for our futures.

The exhibition is result of collaboration of AIG, international artists, photojournalists, Children Art Studios from Russia, Donezk in Ukraine and UK.
