Community Art work
Experience as an Art Activity Coordinator and Teacher in a versatile range of settings which has enabled me to build upon my experiences working with the general public and facilitating their needs. By arranging several artistically expressive workshops, with collaboration via a local arts forum, I have been able to gain first-hand experience of initiating expansive and diverse programs designed to engage, inspire and bring together local community members. My roles encompass establishing, advertising and coordinating workshops and the resulting patrons, ensuring that the overall targets of the forum and governing body are met, along with large scale art & craft collective production set to specific deadlines.
