@RuthJ1 @CharangaMusic @MusicEdExpo Fantastic news, bravo 🙌

[Di Walton @Diana_Upstart]

So proud that @Nicola_Slawson is profiled as a star Arts Award alumna in @TrinityC_L #ArtsAward15 celebration. I supported her brilliant @ArtsAward Gold 12 years ago @HiveShrewsbury & followed her career as an influential young journalist 👏 Check this https://t.co/LrdDDWPA3b

Welcome to @voicemaguk #Kickstart team!

[Upstart Projects @upstartprojects]

We had a wonderful day inducting our new #kickstart @DWP funded team thanks to support from @MightyCreatives as our gateway. We know @voicemaguk is going to grow so much with these amazing #youngpeople over the next 6 months. See their work on https://t.co/Rm1xiEQlG7 soon!

"Biden’s inauguration is symbolic and historic for a number of reasons, and the first US National Youth Poet Laureate’s performance is definitely among them..." 🙌🏿

Great stuff -

Given that @BBCFOUR is 'empty' during the day, could it also be re-purposed to share secondary curriculum-related content? What about @BBCiPlayer?

Like a 21st-century version of night-time @OpenUniversity content on @BBCTwo in the 80s/90s...!

Latest entry to the #LoveArtsAward15 competition. Nice one Tina! Looking forward to seeing what inspires others. Deadline 15 November so keep 'em coming!

[Carousel @carouselartuk]

@ArtsAward @Voicemaguk has been supporting young people for 15 years 👏 To celebrate, Carousel artist Tina Dickinson reflects on developing her filmmaking skills for her Gold Arts Award. "The next thing I'd like to do is become an Arts Award Advisor". Go Tina! #LoveArtsAward15

[Di Walton @Diana_Upstart]

Yes, a great inspiration & powerful voice, who changed women’s rights in law. Thank you #RBG

@ajanegray I'm so sorry to hear this @ajanegray My mum died 15 years ago (the year we launched Arts Award) but she is still with us in so many ways🌻

[Di Walton @Diana_Upstart]

This is encouraging news! Fresh thinking on the role of the arts and arts education: University and Arts Council in drive to re-brand 'soft' academic subjects https://t.co/5FGc5yKn4b

@MarcusRashford for prime minister...leadership with heart and attention.

[Di Walton @Diana_Upstart]

Khadija Saye was a very talented young artist whose life ended much too soon 💚

[Arts Council England @ace_national]

We are proud to have worked with Khadija Saye. We remember her today 💚

[Di Walton @Diana_Upstart]

Calling @ArtsAward pioneers! We're looking for the early adopters, young people and arts workers who spotted that Arts Award was going places and got on board many years ago...help us celebrate #ArtsAward15

L'anno prossimo vi godrete i pasti a Napoli e Pisciotta, speriamo!

[Felicity Woolf @felicitywoolf]

Just read @racheleats column about her first post lockdown joy of eating at a local restaurant in Rome. Brought tears to my eyes! There is hope! I should have been doing something similar in #naples this week @Diana_Upstart
