Arts Programmes

Our arts programmes provide opportunities for exploration and expression.

What our participants say

"Its such a wonderful atmosphere, so conductive to creativity. I never had art classes in my life or did any art but with the guidance of Jenny I started. No pressure of any kind - not to be afraid, to be able to relax. I hope I can continue developing this artistic part of me."

Ways of Seeing: still relevant in a non-binary world?
