Community Programmes
Creative participation programmes for wellbeing, community building and exploring community issues. Arts Creative can assist groups complete applications for art project funding at no extra cost.
Wellbeing
It has been demonstrated that participating in arts activities can have a positive effect on our mental health and sense of wellbeing. These workshops focus on developing skills using techniques that require no previous art training in a relaxed atmosphere. Participants are amazed at the results and will be keen to learn more. See examples of Wellbeing Workshops. I provide workshops specifically designed for those experiencing stress at work. More details here.
Duration: one to two hour sessions. Can be a one-off taster session or a longer programme over a number of weeks.
Costs : £40.00 per hour (includes prep time). Materials £2.00 per head per session.
Community Building
Getting people together to collaborate on a joint artwork is a great way of building community spirit. These programmes are designed in consultation with the community and are costed according to the duration of engagement. See some examples of Community Building workshops.
