arts courses for adults with learning disabilities

April sees the start of our 2021 partnership with Suffolk Open Studios. We are are busy selecting winners for 4 special awards for their first online exhibition, and look forward to announcing the winners at the launch event next Friday.

We were delighted to hear that Suffolk artist, Arabella Marshall, has launched a fundraising campaign on our behalf. If you are able, we’d be really grateful for your support as we continue to bring creativity to our communities at this challenging time, including three new artist residencies in Eye, Ipswich and Halesworth.

Warm wishes from us all for a creative and fulfilling spring,

Alex & Hayley, Co-Directors
