Free Art Classes at The Renewal Programme

We have partnered with The Renewal Programme and secured funding from Mercers’ Company Trust to deliver a two-year arts project, ARRT, to provide access to art for local residents over the age of 55.

Hosted at the Renewal Programme, specialists from Rosetta Arts will lead the project. ARRT will offer local people an opportunity to create their own art while joining others in the community within a supportive and friendly environment. Drawing on diverse experience and heritage, ARRT connects cultures and communities and encourage interaction and understanding.
