Well, you have all been very patient, and now at last that patience should be rewarded. Apart from some minor changes which will be taking place in the next few weeks, you are looking at the new Intercultural Arts website. Hopefully the drop down menus will make everything much easier to find, and you will see boxes at the bottom of the website that will let you see at a glance what is going on with other sections.
If you click on a page and a random article pops up, please let us know - populating a website takes a little time and sometimes you need to use fillers just to set menus up properly etc.
More pages will be set up in due course, but in the meantime, please use the new site as much as possible (I have left the link to the bulletin board intact as it may be a few days before the content is transferred)
Any problems, please let us know - This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
Wor Poets - Intercultural Arts in PracticeThursday, 03 December 2009 13:22 |  Written by Oscar Watson | | |
Our “Wor Poets” project gave six performance poets opportunities to develop their practice, learn new skills and perform to and with local audiences on Tyneside while introducing people to poetry. Here are some comments from people whom took part in workshops at West Moor Community Centre in Longbenton www.westmoor.org.uk: “I attended Wor Poets on a whim and joined the class on a similar whim – and what a revelation it was. I was introduced into a ‘poetic’ world hitherto unknown. I’ve been inspired and become aware of the genius of local people. It was the best time this summer.” “Coerced into joining Wor Poets by a friendly neighbour - I didn’t like to refuse; very sceptical. Wrote a five-liner about fifty years ago. Since then I’ve written about 6 poems with more in my head and I am now reading the poetry books gathering dust in my bookcase. “Wor Poets has been a revelation to me. A whole new world of creativity has opened up with opportunities to express myself in new ways. If only I had been inspired earlier.”

What has happened to the website - again?Wednesday, 25 November 2009 13:52 | Written by Richard Neville | | |
Regular visitors to the site will have noticed we look very different to how we did before! You may also have noticed we were having a bit of trouble with our menu, finding the right fonts to use, and generally all of the other problems a new website has. We thought we would take this opportunity to have a bit of a revamp. The template we are usiing at the moment seems to be working OK, so were going to stick with it for a while and start populating the site again.

We had a good, and upbeat, AGM last week - not a big crowd but solid interest and support, with a bit of action from Wajid Hussain and Peter Adegbie on their work.
Our Trustees are now: Shef Popat David Faulkner (Chair)
We think that this is a strong team of trustees and are looking forward to the year ahead when we aim to put all of their combined skills to good use. (More information on the specific skills of the board can be found by clicking on the 'About Intercultural Arts' tab)
We would also like to thank the retiring trustees; Yve Ngoo and Dominic Nelson-Ashley for their hard work in supporting Intercultural Arts during their time with us.
Continued thanks must also go to Arts Council England North East for their continued support of the organisation. Last Updated (Tuesday, 17 November 2009 13:45) |
