The ARC Podcast: Recent Episodes
ARC Stockton Arts Centre
We believe the world is a better place when people understand each other. ARC uses arts and cultural activity to support different people to tell their stories and works to make them heard. This creates better connections across communities which helps people raise aspirations, achieve their potential, and enhance their experience of the world. ARC is an organisation working from its venue in Stockton-on-Tees to enhance the wellbeing of our community through arts and creative activity.
In the final episode of A Change of Perspective our host, Lizzie Lovejoy, looks back on their year as Artist of Change. Breaking down the process for developing creative work, they analyse the results achieved through out a year of exhibitions. Lizzie both celebrates the varied outcomes and shines a light on lessons they’ve learned along the way. As usual, you can expect a tangent on working class culture and northern identity.
Thank you very much for being part of this journey.
