Her artistic journey began with a heartfelt initiative called ‘Humans of Weston\,’ which she created as a way to honour and acknowledge the diverse individuals residing in her local area. \nInitially\, ‘Humans of Weston’ comprised a collection of striking portraits accompanied by life stories. \nGrowing up on an estate marked by social deprivation\, Bev’s personal experiences shaped her perspective on the power of art to bring people together. With this vision in mind\, she transformed ‘Humans of Weston’ into a CIC which she is the managing director of and created a platform for fostering connections within the community through creativity. As part of this evolution\, she created a local radio show titled ‘Humans of Weston.’ \nBev’s passion lies in developing socially engaging projects that empower individuals to stretch their imaginations\, cultivate ideas\, and showcase their creativity to the world. By doing so\, she creates invaluable experiences that forge deep connections\, enhances community spirit\, and promote self-esteem among participants. \nAs a visual artist\, Bev’s talents have garnered recognition and numerous commissions. She has been commissioned by Upfest\, Europe’s largest Street Art & Graffiti festival\, where her works have added to the festival’s vibrant atmosphere. Culture Weston\, has also sought Bev’s artistic creativity for their Glow event for two consecutive years\, including the Super Shrines project and Climate Carnival. Including Weston Arboretum’s light festival. \nRecognising the significance of collaboration and community involvement\, Bev has collaborated with North Somerset Community Learning\, working closely with the wider community. Her inclusive approach knows no boundaries\, as she fervently believes in encouraging people from all walks of life to find their voice and take charge in bringing their ideas to life. \nBev G Star’s artistic journey is a testament to the profound impact that art can have on individuals and communities alike. Through her unwavering dedication\, she continues to uplift\, inspire\, and celebrate the people and places that have shaped her life.

SUMMARY:Amazing Artefacts - Home Educators Monthly Sessions
DESCRIPTION:  \nWelcome to the Autumn Season of Amazing Artefacts – Home Educators Monthly Sessions!\nEach month\, we will take part in a variety of different hands on activities inspired by an item from the collections. Each season\, we will explore a new theme\, which for the Autumn Season will be ‘Ancient Textiles’. \nAutumn season dates and times are as follows:\nWednesday 13th Sept (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors)\nWednesday 11th Oct (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors)\nWednesday 8th Nov (10:30-11:30 Juniors\, 12-1 Seniors) \nSessions are designed to be active and accessible for a mix of ages and abilities with 2 separate sessions for younger or older children. The morning session will be aimed at slightly younger children aged approximately 5-8\, nicknamed our Juniors\, and the afternoon session will be aimed at the slightly older children aged approximately 9+\, nicknamed our Seniors. If you would like to attend as a family group with mixed ages\, then just pick whichever session you feel would be most suitable for the group as a whole.\nIf you would like to let us know about any specific considerations for your children then we would welcome this\, just get in touch. \nTickets need to be purchased for each child attending\, but grown ups do not need to purchase a separate ticket. It usually works best for the younger or less confident children if grown ups stay and join in with activities. Whereas for older or more confident children it is usually fine for grown ups to not stay in the session\, although they will need to stay within the museum building whilst the session is taking place. Tickets cost £17.50 per child for the 3 month seasonal block and can be booked via Ticketsource or by popping into or phoning the museum directly.\nAttendees will be encouraged to continue their learning at home between sessions and the year will finish with a display of the children’s work from all of the sessions within the museum. \nRusty Club (YAC) Membership – Please note that we occasionally do the same crafts or activities in Rusty Club sessions as we do in Home Educator sessions\, so if you decide to join in with both programmes there may be some sessions with duplicated topics.
