We also run the Blooming Youth Collective programme, aimed at 16-24 year olds, inspiring the young creative minds of Redcar and Cleveland!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3304\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-305x172.jpg 305w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-180x101.jpg 180w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-340x191.jpg 340w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-1422x800.jpg 1422w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background-711x400.jpg 711w, https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/FB-Background.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What brought you to the Palace Hub?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Palace Hub first opened, there was a brilliant gallery space on the bottom floor called Palace Arts, when the owners of the gallery retired, Tees Valley Arts occupied the space in 2019. We saw an opportunity to provide support for local artists in the area, to bring investment into the creative sector in Redcar and Cleveland, and The Palace Hub seemed perfect for us, especially with the idea of public facing, with our gallery being in the front window! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy most about working here at the Palace Hub?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s just so many fantastic businesses in here, so many friendly people, it&#8217;s a strong community and it&#8217;s great to be a part of that, it feels like all the people here are very focused on making Redcar a better place. Redcar is really leading the way in creative arts, I just think the culture and the communities that have been built in this building is amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/redcarcleveland.co.uk\/ambassador\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/Room-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3305\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you love most about Redcar and Cleveland?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It feels like a home away from home, as I mentioned before, Redcar and Cleveland is doing more for the arts in the area than anywhere else has, it&#8217;s really taking some time to invest in itself and think about what is good for the community, it feels like it is always trying to better itself. Being in the Palace Hub, we have a beautiful outlook onto the sea, you go outside and think, &#8216;great, I&#8217;m on holiday&#8217;.
