MarketPlace in a Minute
60 Second Stories from the 30 Creative People And Places projects about creativity and what it means to us all.
October 2021
An Art Journal is open on a table with the words "60 Second Stories" over the top.
In Summer 2021, Creative People and Places launched a project called 60 Second Stories. A series of mini films from each of the 30 CPP projects. Giving insight into how we co-create with individuals and communities and explore creative activity.
We contributed two videos for the series sharing the Local Voice of community members, artists and performers and what creativity means to them.
You can watch our two videos below.
Scary is Art
Sometimes it’s the small moments that matter, finding a new way to express your thoughts, the act of doing something creative, coming together to share and feeling safe enough to do so. A group of Mildenhall residents met up regularly for Meet Up Mondays cuppa and chat at the Barleycorn Café, brought together by owner Shelby Foord. Together we tried out creative activities including Art Journaling led by artist Marian Savill. We saw the positive effects of art in small moments and we think Susan Feary’s words sum it up nicely.
Watch our first video ‘Scary is Art’ here.
Film: Colin Stevens, Creative Agent.
