Weekly Art Group

SUIT’s art collective meet every Tuesday 12.30pm to 2.30pm at Recovery Near You’s Connaught Road Hub. 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 for more information.

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.

“Extending the weekly art group setting to visits of creative interest, workshops, and informal meetings with artists has allowed the collective to experience opportunity in spaces previously unavailable to them” (Christiane).
