Creative Youth Company: The Velvet Crab
Produced by ARCADE
In partnership with Scarborough Pupil Referral Service
​
Our Creative Youth project is a partnership with Scarborough Pupil Referral Service, which caters for children and young people who aren’t able to attend a mainstream school. Pupils are often referred there if they need greater care and support than their school can provide.
​
The Velvet Crab was an exhibition of visual artworks include collage, stop motion, photography and film created by young people from the Pupil Referral Unit.
From Sep - Dec 23, the young people took inspiration from the place where they lived, exploring their surroundings out and about in Scarborough in a series of weekly creative workshops led by visual artist Anna Bean.
Dates: 1st - 17th December (Tues - Sun 11 - 5pm)
@ Mandy Apple 44 Newborough, Scarborough YO11 1NF
Filming locations: Mandy Apple, Woodend & Scarborough Town Centre including Old Town.
LEAD ARTIST

​
I am a Hull-based visual artist. I work on both commissioned and personal
projects. I use a range of materials and processes including photography,
film making, collage, animation and printing techniques. I am in interested how our identity can be formed by the persistent memories of elements from our cultural past such as of television, cinema, theatre, art and music and how this resonates with our being and existence. My practice also includes creating concepts, scenery, costumes, props and characters for immersive art installations and cabaret events collaborating with performers. Within my artistic process I value the contribution and participation of the audience encouraging them to connect to their desire to be playful and sometimes silly.
