Phoenix Art Space has begun a new initiative; creative sessions for people aged 50yrs+ who live in the Phoenix Estate, Tarner and Hanover & Elm Grove areas. These free, drop-in sessions provide older residents with creative and social opportunities as a way of combating isolation and loneliness. Held at the Phoenix Community Centre on a monthly basis they are led by Phoenix Art Space artists and include activities such as watercolour, basket making and pottery. Further sessions will be designed around the interests of resident who attend. This project is part of an ongoing partnership between Phoenix Art Space and Phoenix Food Shop and is supported by the Brighton & Hove City Council Communities Fund: Collaboration.
The next session will take place on Friday 10th March, 11am to 1pm at Phoenix Community Centre, 2 Phoenix Place, refreshments provided. For more information please contact chloe@phoenixbrighton.org
