Our aim is to collect and curate as much art as we can during the quarantine due to the Covid-19 virus, we also offer support and activities for creative folk and art lovers during this time.

Although we are only in week 1 of the group we are seeing very interesting results and would like help to create as accurate digital representation of how art is changing and adapting during this time.

There has been many moments in history where the face of art has changed due to social, economic and pandemic situations and we believe this is one of those times

If you want to take part or see what we are up to come join us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/225289605331100 all welcome to our creative quarantine.
