Civic Head Visits Northumberland CVA to View County of Sanctuary Art Exhibition

Councillor Pauline Thompson, Civic Head of Ashington Town Council, visited Northumberland CVA on Wednesday to view the work of Northumberland County of Sanctuary and their latest art exhibition.

The visit provided Councillor Thompson with the opportunity to witness the powerful impact that community and art can have in bringing people together and fostering understanding through shared creative experiences. The exhibition showcases the remarkable talent and resilience of those seeking sanctuary in our area, and demonstrates the meaningful work being carried out in our community.

Ashington has become increasingly diverse in recent years, with residents from many different backgrounds continuing to make our town their home. This evolving community has enriched Ashington immeasurably, bringing new perspectives, cultures, and talents that strengthen the fabric of our town.

The art exhibition features works created by community members who have sought sanctuary in Northumberland, offering visitors a unique insight into their experiences and perspectives through creative expression. These powerful pieces demonstrate how art can transcend language barriers and cultural differences to create understanding and connection.

Ashington Town Council remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen community bonds and celebrate the diversity of our local area. As a Council, Ashington Town Council is incredibly proud to support all members of our community. Ashington's strength lies in its welcoming spirit and the way residents from all backgrounds come together to support one another. Events and exhibitions like this are not only welcome but actively encouraged, as they help celebrate the contributions that every resident makes.

The exhibition is open to all residents, encouraging community-wide participation and connection.
