we will offer more opportunities for participants to take part in arts based workshops and experiences to help improve their health and well being
We have set up City Arts Portsmouth cic to offer everyone in the city the opportunity to take part in accessible, high quality arts and creative activities, with workshops delivered by skilled local artists and crafts people.
City Arts Portsmouth is a based at the John Pounds Centre, Portsea and the money generated by the crowdfunding will allow us to kick start our activities at the centre.
We are an innovative partnership of artists and makers, using fun and creative approaches to bring the community together. Our mission is to connect people, grow new skills, form friendships, support community well being, build resilience and help tackle social isolation.
Working as a partnership, we mobilise artists, makers and innovators to work with community groups to create projects with long lasting benefits. Our work is directed, driven and shaped by the needs of our local groups and citizens, ensuring that we build a deep understanding of our city over a sustained period of time.
We also bring artists and creative thinkers together to develop their creativity, support their work and share their skills.
So that we can start to deliver new workshops around the city, on Friday 13th October at 6pm we launched our crowdfunding appeal at Treadgolds Warehouse 1 Bishop Street, Portsea Portsmouth P013DA www.treadgolds.co.uk .
This was a pop up local artist exhibition and many of the exhibiting artists donated a piece of work to support our crowdfunding appeal. Some pieces can be bought as a reward (see images below).
If we are lucky enough to go beyond our target amount, extra funds will allow us to deliver more free community workshops for all ages and abilities within the city, develop larger community based creative projects and allow the team to grow more partnerships for future activities within Portsmouth.
This project offers rewards in return for your donation. Please select a reward below.
