There are good examples of keeping positive heritage alive. #Teesside has a rich history of opposing fascism - In trenches, on beaches, in the skies and in the streets. We should never forget that it always takes ordinary people to make a difference.

Blast from 06/2013: "Golden age of #arts funding has given way to debilitating austerity, particularly for #artists who are at the end of a long food chain, divorced from #artsfunding & policy decision-making." What are #artists really worth? theguardian.com/culture-prof…

Such powerful words from Toni Morrison that resonate strongly in these challenging times... #BlackLivesMatter #mindfullness #WednesdayWisdom #COVID__19 #artistsof2020 #NewNormal2020 #WednesdayMotivation #Karma #positivemind #PositiveVibes #WednesdayThoughts
From the beginning of Creative Factory, we've tried to stick by 'Listen and learn from what you don't know, share what you do.' Seems more important every day. #BlackLivesMatter
