There Is No Planet B Stafford Green Arts Festival
'There Is No Planet B' Stafford Green Arts Festival
There is No Planet B Stafford (TINPB), is a local Stafford-based group promoting care for the planet by providing school workshop materials and running Stafford Green Arts Festival held in February half term each year.
'There
is No Planet B' Stafford Green Arts Festival normally
runs in February half term, when we invite the public and schools to
submit artwork, photos, and poems with a positive environmental message
about helping to look after our planet.
School Workshops
Some of our volunteers go into schools before the Festival to run workshops with different themed topics, for example:
· pollination/pollinators—how they help our food to be grown and how important they are and need protecting
· plastic pollution—how that impacts on wildlife and our environment as well as our carbon footprint
The volunteers chat to the children, who with the support of teachers & volunteers produce artwork and displays with brilliant positive messages, poems, or collages.
Usually the work is displayed at St Chad's church in Stafford, and adult artwork has been displayed at The Gatehouse Theatre in the cafe area.
St Chad’s Church
During February half term St Chad's church is normally open every day except Sunday for visitors to view the artwork submitted by schools, adults, and community groups. On both Saturdays musicians perform their songs, with performances containing positive messages about looking after our planet.
On weekdays volunteers stage art and craft activities in the church for children with their families and parents. Activities have included wild flower seed bomb making, creating collages from magazines and recycled materials, making pollinator sculptures with recycled materials, and willow weaving.
Art Competition
Schools, groups and individuals are invited to submit artwork (of any type), poetry or songs, which have a positive environmental theme, ideally based on the workshop themes, and will be displayed during Stafford Green Arts Festival 'There Is No Planet B'.
