Arts Intervention
A series of intergenerational pop-up art events, as part of the South Abingdon Arts & Culture Project
Funded by Caldecott Community Grant, we are excited to present a series of pop-up arts events in South Abingdon across the 2024 Easter break: Providing a free, inclusive and creative space for people of all ages and abilities.
The events promote respect, connection, and creativity through shared art-making activities: Providing a safe and inspiring space for all ages to work alongside one another, carefully planned with the tools, activities and support to facilitate this. We welcome individuals of all skill levels, including observers and those less confident in participating actively.
