SUIT’s art collective meet every Tuesday 12.30pm to 2.30pm at Recovery Near You’s Connaught Road Hub. It is an ideal space for beginners, and each week, we invite the RISE Day Hab programme into the space for a meaningful creative practice session.

There is guided practical and applied work, including individual portfolio contributions, upcoming exhibition content, creative writing, exploration of mediums, art history, and how styles have emerged socially. The art group is a safe space for creative discussion, planning, and individual support.

You don’t need any experience of art to come to our group; just be motivated within your recovery and open to learning. Speak to your RNY keyworker or get in touch with christiane.jenkins@wvca.org.uk if you would like to attend.

There is no formal referral needed, but be aware the group can be busy or have a limit on spaces.

Working alongside established creatives, galleries, and festivals, maintains SUIT’s vision of providing opportunity for clients in spaces that can often be considered out of reach to people experiencing addiction and multiple disadvantage.
