From March to October 2020 GRAIN commissioned and supported photographers to make new work in response to the Covid- 19 pandemic, lockdown and new laws around social distancing.   The bursary programme was supported by Arts Council England and National Lottery Players and Appetite; Creative People & Places.

3 photographers made new work in Stoke on Trent responding to the unprecedented, uncertain and disturbing time of the pandemic, the affects of lockdown on communities and individuals at work and at home.

We are excited to share the work of; Robyn Clark, Sarah Peart and Holly Johnson.

Appetite is a Creative People and Places programme supported by funding from Arts Council England and led by the New Vic Theatre in partnership with Partners in Creative Learning, 6Towns Radio, Staffordshire University, Newcastle Business Improvement District (BID), Go Kidsgrove and Keele University.
