Blas – Limited Places
BLAS is Pontio’s arts participation project offering children and young people various experiences of the arts. There are three aspects to BLAS, firstly, weekly drama workshops for children and young people, from school year 3 to 13. Secondly, health and well-being arts projects with children and young people. Thirdly, youth arts projects in conjunction with professional companies that visit Pontio.
BLAS was launched in January 2013 following a successful bid for funding from Arts Council of Wales, and since then it has gone from strength to strength undertaking a number of projects with inspiring practitioners and Bangor’s enthusiastic children and communities.
The project is run by Pontio Arts Development Co-ordinator, Mared Elliw Huws and is funded by the Arts Council of Wales and the Widening Access programme at Bangor University
