Participatory Arts provides strategic development for artists and community arts in Leicester, delivers a varied community arts programme through directly managed workshops and partnerships throughout Leicester, as well as providing participatory arts advice services.
The service has a particular focus on working with people with disabilities and education.
Current work includes a number of workshops based at Fosse Arts targeting priority groups. Examples include the management and delivery of weekly workshops in ceramics and general art for Social Services' Community Opportunities Team, and delivery of accredited courses in ceramics and general art with Education and Lifelong Learning's REMIT.
