Art is a great way of helping children and young people to express themselves, explore their imagination and can be a therapeutic outlet to help them manage their emotions.
Help them to get inspired by other creative submissions from children and young people.
Bring them to view an exhibition of artwork created by local young people aged 15 years and under, showcasing a variety of wonderful, colourful and imaginative pieces.
The exhibition is free to view from Monday, 16 January to Saturday, 25 February, during Cleethorpes Library opening times – Monday to Thursday: 8:30am to 5:30pm, Saturday: 9am to 1pm

Let someone know you appreciate them
Did you know? When a person or an organisation gets three or more nominations they are automatically entered into the final round of judging for a SEND Award!?
We have had multiple nominations for some Early Years settings, schools, students and teachers.
Make sure to cast your nomination which will be reviewed by the SEND YPAG group along with notable members from around the borough to be recognised at this very special event.
We want parents and carers to nominate their children, and their schools, we want professionals to nominate their colleagues and services, and for children and young people to nominate their parents and carers for the support that they give.
This award ceremony is about unsung heroes and the little things that really matter.
