Inspired by the beauty of life, love and connection - presenting a selection of artworks by the Bury st Edmunds’ based artist Martina Šišková, for the first time in the new space of Alema.
“Not long after Fabian opened the first Alema on Lower Baxter street, I asked if he would like to have some postcards of my paintings there; and he agreed. It was lovely that he decided to carry them and so when he approached me to put on a show of the actual paintings and some of my new work, in the beautiful, bright space that Alema calls its home now, I was really excited.”
Parents’ Meet up & Support Group
Why a meet up and a support group? As parents we are doing one of the hardest jobs, and every one of us deserves as much support as we can get! I’ve decided to start this group to create opportunities for parents from all walks of life to meet, connect and build their support network. Share your experiences and tips and become a part of a growing community.
