On Saturday 19th May 2012 The Mighty Creatives (TMC) supported five events taking place at different venues across the East Midlands. The venues opened their doors to young people giving them the opportunity to try arts activities, meet other young people with similar interests and get information on what’s on for them locally. www.themightycreatives.comTumblr (3.0; @creativeandconnected)http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MF4F--GBJTE?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Dick Turpin</strong></p> <p>One of 2 films produced by young people working with QUAD in Derby on their Film in a Day project</p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23729905662http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23729905662Fri, 25 May 2012 13:21:04 +0100derbyquad<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/7dNidWLhSjQ?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>When I Grow Up I Want To Save The World</strong></p> <p>One of 2 films produced by young people working with QUAD in Derby on their Film in a Day project</p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23729850522http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23729850522Fri, 25 May 2012 13:18:00 +0100derbyquad<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4bni1yjj51rvjcs4o1_r1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Thank you to the media teams at each venue and to everyone else who sent content for us to upload. </strong></p> <p><strong>Well done all of the organisations who organised the events and the artists too - what a range of creative activity on offer!</strong></p> <p><strong>And thanks to everyone who came along on the day and to our online guests.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Keep visiting this site for more updates and creative output from the day.</strong></p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23409926913http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23409926913Sun, 20 May 2012 13:46:00 +0100<blockquote> <p><strong>If you want to see all of the Tumblr posts from a particular venue click on the hashtag links that appear below the posts - a hashtag looks like this #</strong></p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23408943248http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23408943248Sun, 20 May 2012 13:12:00 +0100corbycorederbyquadembraceartsnationalcentreforcraftnewartexchange<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ANX1EMxvDsw?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Young Journalist Academy video report on Ben Stacey who played live at The National Centre for Craft & Design on Saturday.

Andy Penny, who is running the workshop, told us, “This workshop is called Experience, so it’s a bit of everything. We’re doing film, animation, photography, music, radio, everything really, all using Macs.</p> <p>We’re making an animated video, and it’s really cool because you get to make you own characters” said Lawrence who attended the workshop. There’s a huge range of videos being made, from comedy to action and from dinosaurs to ninjas (in the case of some of the younger filmmakers). “I think they’re all really interesting, and they’re all really funny” said Andy. There’s a huge range of ages, and everyone is really getting into it, coming up with great ideas for really creative films.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Media Team at The National Centre for Craft & Design</em>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353627920http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353627920Sat, 19 May 2012 16:49:00 +0100nationalcentreforcraft<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4a18pWXwX1rvjcs4o1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Fantastic iPad-art workshop at The National Centre for Craft & Design today - really popular!</strong></p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353582864http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353582864Sat, 19 May 2012 16:48:00 +0100nationalcentreforcraftypconnected<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4a0zyMXRa1rvjcs4o1_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4a0zyMXRa1rvjcs4o2_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4a0zyMXRa1rvjcs4o3_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4a0zyMXRa1rvjcs4o4_250.jpg"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Pedal-powered smoothie making at The National Centre for Craft & Design</strong></p> </blockquote>http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353316846http://creativeandconnected.tumblr.com/post/23353316846Sat, 19 May 2012 16:43:00 +0100nationalcentreforcraftypconnected
