Situation
Our community living in Saxmundham, surrounding towns and villages in East Suffolk has limited access locally to free high quality cultural experiences especially people who experience socio-economic challenges. Young people and women have limited opportunities to gain skills and experience to access work and careers in the creative industries even if that is the sector in which they will do best. Children and young people locally have limited access to working with artists and experiencing art.
Solution
Art Station offers a free, engaging programme of creative and cultural activities which brings people together in a lively programme across the year. Art Station provides six month paid work placements and internships for young people who are NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) and volunteering for all age groups, supporting people to gain useful skills that will enable them to transition into employment, training and gain important social connections locally.
