The young people on Impact Arts’ Creative Pathways Programme would like to invite you to an exhibition of work they have produced over the past 12 weeks.
Impact Arts is delivering a 24 week creative engagement project with 25 of the city’s hardest to engage young people. The project focuses on sustaining positive engagement with this priority group of inactive Glaswegians, fostering aspiration and developing the fundamental skills they will require to progress on to any further training or employment outcomes with other partners.
Young people are working with Impact Arts’ qualified and experienced staff on a 30 hour per week basis, essentially as volunteers and are engaged, full -time in a number of creative community focussed initiatives including:
Home: Design and production of creatively recycled furniture within a social enterprise and city centre retail setting. Key skills involved include design, manufacture, sourcing materials, understanding environmental issues and working within a retail setting.
Eco-chic Fashion Freak: Creative fashion design and manufacture of recycled clothing to pilot a young people led social enterprise. Key skills include: design, manufacture, sourcing materials, understanding environmental issues and working within a retail setting.
Creative Community Challenges: Working with GHA and local housing organisations to undertake creative projects, such as public art, film making and other which will improve local communities. Key skills include: working as a team, responding to clients’ requests, engaging with older and younger people, finishing tasks to a high standard within deadline.
The exhibition takes place in Impact Arts, 319 Craigpark Drive, Dennistoun from 2pm – 4pm on Thursday 10th April.
