Group creates hidden gem 'haven for art' in seaside town centre

A collective of local residents founded Clacton Arts Centre (CAC) in late 2023 in Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, to address the town's lack of free creative activities. A pop-up gallery, the Clacton Art Gallery, opened in a vacant retail unit in September 2024 and became a permanent hub after strong public support, now showcasing work from 39 local artists. The centre runs monthly acoustic music showcases, open mic nights, theatrical performances, and outdoor events, with ambitions to secure a permanent venue.

Cannabis Art Exhibition Comes to Fort Collins

A traveling art exhibition called Hear/Say, part of the Tea on THC campaign, will open May 27 at the Center for Creativity in Fort Collins, Colorado, and run through May 31. The exhibition combines scientific research with visual art—including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and installation—to spark public conversations about the health impacts of high-potency cannabis. It is organized by the Colorado School of Public Health and Initium Health following Colorado House Bill 1317, which mandated research and public outreach on high-potency THC products. A free opening reception is scheduled for May 29, with additional events planned in Colorado Springs in June.
