Robert was one of the guests at the event at Eastfield Library to celebrate the Creative Residencies project. This is a three year partnership project between North Yorkshire Library Service, North Yorkshire Youth Service, NYMAZ and supported by Arts Council England. 24 artists are working with 8 communities to deliver art workshops in local libraries.
At the event the new community mosaic, created by members of the community and local artist, Gaby Naphtali, was unveiled. Other artwork, films, photographs and sound recording created in Eastfield were also displayed.
Robert Goodwill said, “This is a brilliant example of art projects being delivered right at the heart of local communities. It also shows just how important local libraries are and how they are much more than just a place to borrow books.”
