This campaign has now closed
Regular and free art classes for the u5’s and 6-11 yr olds contribute to young people taking part in our community creatively and confidently, particularly those who otherwise don’t access the arts. A progressive opportunity for children to enjoy working with practising artists throughout the year.

Situation
Our trial workshops with young people from very deprived areas in Penzance show that while they are underrepresented in our audience, they enjoy and gain from the experience once past initial obstacles, participate more in the community and go on to form a sustained relationship with the gallery. There is a local gap in provision of family learning, and creative play, collaborative working with artists offers a stimulating alternative to curricular demands, but charges deter low income families
Solution
We will work with groups who deal with our target participants to offer weekly, and crucially, free classes to children 6-11, and parents. They will work with artists in a stimulating and welcoming way using the resources and programme of the gallery. Thi
