The advent of Spring with the showing of flowers and trees coming into leaf is a wonderful reminder of nature’s own cycle of creativity. In parallel with this, Ruthin Arts Network have invited all creatives to submit an example of their work with the theme of, ‘Change in Ruthin’. However you wish to interpret this title, you are invited to submit a piece of your work in whatever style or genre you choose, be it: drawing, painting, photography, poetry, performance art, sculpture, textiles, music, dance, etc. Please send your contributions to admin@ruthinartsnetwork.wales and we will showcase your work from now until May. Anything you contribute will only be seen on the website and not shared elsewhere but your creation will serve to give ideas to others and fuel the local creative spark!

On Thursday, 8th of May, our next social event will be held at the Old Courthouse when our speaker will be Dr Rajan Madhok. He came to the UK, as a young doctor from India in 1980, and after working all over, starting in the Shetland Islands, he retired to Wales (saved the best till the last!). Having lived to work previously (sic) he was keen to make up for it and immersed himself in the things Wales has to offer, including learning Welsh. He will share an overview of this journey illustrated by examples of his writings and some poetry (he is keen to emphasise that he is no poet, though he tries to be one). A fascinating and inspirational evening is in prospect.  

We look forward to seeing you on 8.5.25 at 7pm at the Old Courthouse!
