Green Light is a new partnership to develop ‘pop-up’ collaborative spaces for conversations and creativity. The first pop-up is now open on Thursday to Sunday 1pm-4pm (on Bridlesmith Gate) with free, family friendly creative workshops on Saturdays and Sundays until the end of January 2022. The focus of this first pop-up space is climate change and Nottingham's ambition to be carbon neutral by 2028.

During lockdown, we delivered 550 'Let's Create' boxes to foodbanks and community organisations in Nottingham. Together with The Mighty Creatives and The Craft's Council, we are now regularly topping up Craft Cupboards in foodbanks and community organisations to give children access to creative materials. Since November 2020, a further 1260 art packs have been distributed through the Craft Cupboards project.
Our Projects page details the projects we are proud to have supported, helping arts organisations connect with communities in new ways since May 2020.
