What is the Studio Project?
Accessible Arts in partnership with Pine Street Creative Arts Centre have just completed the pilot phase of establishing Visual Arts Studio for people with a disability.
The program was aimed at an Artists Studio space for artists with a disability through a series of workshops and master-classes to further their technical skills and artistic practice. Nine artists were selected for the initial program and worked under the guidance of the Pine Street Creative Arts tutors.
The nine talented artists immersed themselves in art making as part of the 9-week Studio Project. A review of this program was held last month, which enabled artists to showcase their works in progress and exchange ideas with visiting guests. As an onlooker, it was apparent that the participants benefited from working alongside each other as well as being mentored by tutors.
"I was really inspired to work with talented people who each had a unique way to express their art"
(Kathleen Done - Studio Project participant)
