TRASH FASHION |

THIS IS ME |

SIDE BY SIDE |
| our inclusive arts projects where people with disability, the elderly and those most at risk enjoy arts participation alongside able bodied or younger peers |
All projects are facilitated by professional artists with expertise in a spectrum of disciplines and a wealth of experience in working with community groups and schools.
Our workshops aim to promote participation in the arts from all sections of society and are tailored to accommodate the needs and interests of groups and individuals of all ages and abilities – including people with disabilities, and with different cultures, backgrounds, and lifestyles.
Participants do not need any previous knowledge or ability to take part in our workshops. Those who have already gained skills in particular art forms will be encouraged to develop them further.
