ACT team Inna Schutts and Dawn Lindson have been updating all on the best global digital resources covering art, culture and tourism and their reports on Home Teaching. Marcus Gilmore, graphic artist and illustrator, has been reporting on “Crafting in a Crisis”. All these ACT events have been masterly produced by Caron Lyon of PCM creative. All links can be watched and heard anytime via https://www.facebook.com/artculturetourism/, our website Home page and Podcasts section.

Our e-book of 25 “Creatives Lockdown 2020” comments of April, from Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire plus one each from USA & Netherlands, is published this month via our website.
I’ve been busy writing, blogging, publishing, tending to my garden and surprisingly become a BBC Radio Star! My ‘Letter from Beeston’ recordings for Radio Nottingham and the rest can be heard and read on our Blog. Roberto’s RadioVision production of his ‘Adventures in the Land of Robin Hood’ (with my Letter from Beeston) can be experienced here
So all in all, an ACTive time during lockdown. We now look forward to Lifting Lockdown. For more information https://www.artculturetourism.co.uk/
