Art Breaks is an innovative project that focuses on children and young people with complex needs, alongside their parents, carers and peers.
Across school holidays and weekends, we offer a series of high-quality creative workshops giving children the opportunity to work in collaboration with a team of skilled professional artists and to experience art as a tool for exploration, communication and self-expression. Our programmes support individuals towards greater communication, self-expression and community integration. We use personalised approaches to explore the potential of people with complex needs and those that support them.
Art Breaks workshops run during school holidays at our studio in Hastings and other venues in Sussex. We also run four sets of Saturday workshops each year.
Project Art works raises the money to deliver art breaks from grant funding and donations. A small donation towards these costs would be appreciated but is not a requirement.
“This is the only activity were they are really excited to come. As they can be themselves and create what they like in that moment.”
