AccessArt has worked collaboratively with young people for twenty-five years on projects in schools and workshop sessions.
Underlying all our work is the belief that everyone is entitled to express themselves creatively and a recognition that creativity is a part of each and everyone of us, which needs to be nurtured, recognised, protected and developed.
The creative ego is delicate and is easily knocked if people feel their creative endeavours are judged or misunderstood, causing a sense of not being able to participate in the production or creation of art. This often results in the unfortunate result of not being able to take making, drawing and creative processes into adulthood.
At AccessArt, art is recognised, not as a subject, but as a bespoke and personal language used to transform, understand, express and construct the world.
