Vincents Art Workshop

Vincents is a community based initiative providing access to arts and craft facilities, skilled tuition, and materials within a supportive environment.

People with disabilities, those moving into the community from institutions, the unemployed, people on low incomes and anyone at all from the wider community are welcome! An average of 35 people use the workshop every day, and all work together to make Vincents an exciting and creative place to be.

Vincents operates on a holistic health philosophy where focus is on potential and ability rather than disease and disability. We believe that all people have a right to artistic and creative expression - everyone is creative in some way and acceptance of the value of one’s own creativity is something to be nurtured.

We provide an art space, art materials and equipment, together with a high standard of art, craft and construction tuition - and, importantly, a supportive structured workshop with skilled tuition in particular techniques or mediums. Most activities offered are free! Some (like Life Drawing and use of the Dark Room) have a small charge and, of course, donations are always very welcome.
