Brave Art Autumn Programme Lowestoft

Brave Art is a programme for learning disabled and neurodivergent people to access high quality creative opportunities. Through a series of artist-led sessions in three locations we provide inspiration and support for people to express themselves through visual arts, bringing the social and wellbeing benefits of being creative together.

Each day-long session starts with a group activity, skill sharing or discussion, before people are invited to develop and work on a personal project. Participants are encouraged and supported to explore their interests and develop their own creative voice through a range of materials, techniques and creative prompts.

Courses are based in community spaces in Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and Lowestoft.

Our experienced Project Officer Fran Speight will, as usual, create a safe and welcoming space where everyone can be creative and make new friends.

Our 8 creative sessions are led by talented artist Johann Don-Daniel: “Hello Brave Artists, As a former assistant head teacher, I have seen the transformative power of the creative arts. My teaching roles have included Art, Design and Technology, and Computing. I am excited to bring my experience and creativity to explore the ideas of others in order to build confidence and self-expression in myself and others. Following an MA in Fine Art, my work has evolved into sculpture, new technologies, drumming, and sound. I am passionate about exploring new mediums and techniques.”
