Connecting Artists is a programme designed for visual artists with intellectual disabilities who wish to develop their creative practice. Here at Connections Arts Centre, we have built on the success of last year’s programme and enhanced it further, with the inclusion of a mentor for each artist as part of the 2023 programme. We had a terrific response from the creative community wishing to be involved and we have selected 10 amazing creative individuals to mentor our 2023 programme participants.
With our mentors secured – Applications are now open for our 2023 programme!!
