We've now begun Year 2 of the Open Door project and I'm pleased to say the first project with Studio 3 has started with lots of energy! We've doubled the size of the group with the number of new people who've joined - we hope they choose to stay with the group once the Open Door project has ended.
The primary aim of this second year is to work with many of the groups we worked with in the first year in order to build on the skills they nurtured during their introduction to the project. This second year will be an opportunity for them to really develop their artistic capabilities, try new art forms they haven't tried before and work towards a public exhibition which will bring together the work produced across all four projects.
We light the touch paper of the second year with a visual arts and animation project with adult mental health service users. The first workshop has already taken place and we were really pleased to welcome some new faces into our building this Wednesday.
Throughout the coming 12 weeks, artists Jill Johnson and Rozi Fuller will be blogging about the project. As this is such a vocal group we also hope some of the participants will be writing pieces for the blog too.
So sit back, feet up, cup of tea in hand and prepare to watch this next project unfold!
