About the Projects
Art School: Background Information to the Art Projects
We ran a Community Art School for adult artists with learning disabilities for two years from 2022 – 2024 thanks to funding from the National Lottery. Over the course of the project we worked with over 40 artists with learning disabilities & autism. Art School was a non-directive art group, a place where neurodiverse adults met to create art that was important to them and reflected who they are as individuals. Neurodiverse people can feel pressure to ‘mask’ who they truly are to fit into society’s accepted norms. We wanted to offer a space where neurodiverse adults could authentically express themselves. This group was led by an autistic art facilitator.
Art Group
We have started a new weekly Art Group in partnership with the charity East London Textile Arts (ELTA). This is a mixed ability group where artists with and without learning disabilities from ELTA and Hopeful Futures come together to work on heritage themed projects for exhibition. You will be responsible for the overall management for the Hopeful Futures part of this group.
Art Hub
Our new Art Hub is all about ‘our work is valuable to our community’. You will be responsible for the running of two weekly art hub sessions at Rosetta Arts in Westham where seven artists with a learning disability at each session will create their own pieces of work through the guidance and support of a qualified art tutor. You will be responsible for helping each artist to develop their work into sellable products and raising their profiles as individual artists.
