Young Artists Group, Venture Arts

Venture Arts are looking for young people aged 19-25 with a learning disability or autism who have a passion for art and would like to join our Young Artists group.

  • Meets on Thursdays and Fridays, 1:00pm - 3:00pm at Venture Arts.
  • No specific art skills or experience are needed - just an interest in making art.
  • The group helps young people to develop their identity as artists.
  • Young people work alongside an experienced artist facilitator and have the opportunity to try a range of different art forms including ceramics, illustration, digital and textiles. 
  • We go on regular visits to exhibitions, artist studios and other cultural places and spaces (Venture Arts covers the cost of these trips).
  • We support our young artists to set personal development goals and to access opportunities like commissions, artist residencies and placements with other cultural organisations. 
  • Workshops are £10.00 per week.
  • Workshops run throughout the summer holidays. There is a two week break at Christmas, one week at Easter and one week at both February and October half terms (we do not charge for these sessions).
