Kaleidoscope have raised funding for this project which provides young people with the chance to train and gain experience within the creative industries, allowing them to develop their artistic skills and consequently produce and exhibit work at a professional level. The project entitled I, Me, Mine, allowed participants to express themselves through drawings, collages and prints. So why not visit the exhibition this January to explore the work of talented and creative group of adolescents. Everyone is welcome.
Kaleidoscope is a youth led voluntary arts group, consists of six artists each of whom gave a day each of their week to offer art workshops to 16-25 year olds in Swansea. Kaleidoscope is a youth-led voluntary arts organisation whose mission is to involve new generations in contemporary art as well as bringing the community together through an artistic process.
Kaleidoscope would like to thanks the funders of the project, Swansea Youth Bank who made this project possible together with Swansea Print Workshop for their continued support.
Project coordinated by Kara Seaman. Kaleidoscope members include Luke Bolch, Rosie Hughes, Joyce Li, Carly Llewellyn, Matthew Otten and Amy Treharne.
