Ever wondered what might happen if you brought together neurodiversity and art on a boat? Well we are about to find out!
Today was spent with the wonderful group ‘Next Step’ and lovely representatives of the amazing organisation Pyramid Arts who have just finished their project on our boat.
“This is an example of people working together”
The Next Step group are part of Pyramid, an organisation who support artists with learning disabilities. The group were given funding from Royal Mencaps Positive Changes volunteers, which was enough to pay for the boat trip and materials. With these resources, they went on a journey downriver, capturing the things they saw and experienced in art. The group are proud to be Exhibiting their beautiful work here at Canal Connections where you will be able to see it for yourself.
“‘Based on the photos and experience on the boat, we made these pictures.’ -N.L”
This week we will be opening our doors for you to make your own art and partake in this experience.
