We run a number of arts groups in Newcastle - these include visual art, dance, aerial, photography and music making.
Our groups are for disabled children/young people alongside their non disabled peers. If you have a different art interest e.g. circus, drama, pottery, poetry - we can meet up and try to find a group that suits you.
We can meet anywhere - home/school/an arts venue to discuss arts activities and groups AND we run regular inclusive sessions at The Laing (art), Dance City (aerial and dance) the library (family photo club) and music making online.
Our regular Family friendly session take place every Friday from 3-4pm. At this event you can take part in free creative tasks and activities designed for all ages in a welcoming, quiet and safe space.
