Our Art Therapy group especially designed for adults with learning Disability supported in the community starts Tuesday, 19  May. This will follow much the same format as the previous group, also funded by Awards for All, which ran 2013/14. Last year the work themed around idea of home, we shall see where the work takes us this year.

Many thanks to our local weekly paper, The Scarborough News, for an article about our work, published this Thursday, 5 March.

Our ArtWorking group programme is now half way through, with two groups completed. We are currently seeking participants for our two final groups. The next is scheduled to begin on the 17th March (yes, it has been put back 1 week). Group participants must be 19 or over and not currently employed, or at least no more than 8 hours per week. Long term, short term unemployed… perhaps considering re-entering the job market after redundancy, looking after children or being a carer? Maybe you are recovering from illness or, having left university are unsure of your direction.  All the above have benefited from ArtWorking and completed feeling a really positive change in attitude.  Don’t put it off – contact us.

Voice your Choice is part  of the ‘Participatory Budgeting’ process, and  ATY is through to the decision making event which will be held at the Vernon St Library, Scarborough.  We have made application to hold a series of free, open to residents art workshops which aim to raise the awareness of Art Therapy and its contribution to good mental health as well as be a great, inclusive and  fun art day. 5pm – 8pm 4th Feb. Scarborough Central Urban Area residents.
