Dalkeith Arts is a none profit community art group. We normally run classes/ workshops throughout the year. We felt during the covid lockdown we had to do something to keep everyone healthy and motivated. We started two WhatsApp lockdown groups. We set challenges for everyone each week.

It turned out to be a fantastic idea. We now have over 400 paintings and craft work on the page. It became a little community. Everyone helped each other and gave their support to each other. I think it really helped people, especially ones that lived alone. I think our little community art group will continue after lockdown.

Best wishes, Margaret Bititci
