My daughter is 15 and amazing at art. I know most parents would say that but if you send me an email address I will send you some of her work. Alisha has sold a few of her canvas art work and would love to donate a piece of her work to the cause.

Drawing and painting is one thing I cannot do for sure, but on my travels in Salford I have come upon some great things ordinary people have done in their spare time.Coupled with acting and music as well,it seems to me that Salford has more than its fair of people who are artistic minded. So come on Salford people, don't be shy ,show em what you got.

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

We are almost at the final closure of the Salford Star but we write this article as a warning to others who may follow on the pitfalls of founding a genuine publication that aims to give the community a voice and hold public bodies up to account.
