AN ARTIST and printmaker is launching a bilingual venture and needs the help of creative people.

Michael Goode, from Barry, is hoping to enable creative people from South Wales - including Newport, Monmouthshire and Torfaen - to work in schools, colleges and community settings, and take part in artist trails, showcases and events.

He is asking for professional artists, makers, designers, musicians and writers to get in touch if they are interested.

Mr Goode, who was previously part of Arts Council of Wales and has taught Art & Design Technology in various schools over the last three years, said: “My new venture, Inc – Creative, aims to connect creative people with local schools and colleges.

"I have seen the potential and long-term benefits of children and young people working alongside professionals and learning new skills.”

Based around an interactive website, the venture will be launched at the end of January and is looking for creative people to register for the online database.

A bilingual leaflet will be sent to local schools and colleges at the start of February.
