The Project's Aims
Through the medium of visual arts we will deliver intergenerational workshops with users of the Victoria Park Community Centre to develop ideas, then create and install permanent art installations for the Café. These will add colour and character to the space, encourage a sense of ownership in the local community and help cut down the current level of sound reverberation. We will also develop a series of creative skills sharing workshops, to encourage people to share a wide range of creative making skills. Supported by a professional artist, it is hoped these will develop into ongoing workshop activities at the centre once the initial workshop programme is completed. It is hoped the project may be a way to start new activities and encourage greater use of the public spaces.
The Company of Voices
SAW has gained funding to develop this project through a new Somerset-wide intergenerational programme called ‘The Company of Voices’ .
The project is looking great :) I feel that there should be more projects like this. Julie Roberts who has been the lead artist for the project gives great incentive and enthusiasm to the children and adults that have been involved in the project to produce interesting and vibrant artwork. I hope all is going well and if you need more help in June, then I am sure I could assist!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the experience and all the best with the final presentation of the work in the cafe,
Kind regards,
Alice Jones (assistant)
