Join us for a creative, family friendly day exploring how art can help us express our feelings and tell our stories.
Children and families are invited to get creative and discover different ways to express emotions through art.
As part of the event, Staying Put will showcase artwork created by survivors of domestic abuse, with each piece representing a unique story and personal experience.
Whether you’re coming along to make art, explore the exhibition or simply spend some creative time together as a family, everyone is welcome.
Staying Put is a specialist domestic abuse and sexual violence charity working across the Bradford district and West Yorkshire. The charity provides confidential, trauma-informed support to adults and children affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence.
