Individuals: Arts Activities
what is it?
We deliver arts activities for children and young people, adults, and over 60s in and around Holborn.
All of our creative activities are delivered using a participatory approach, designed to welcome and encourage the whole community to give arts a go. It doesn’t matter if you’re an experienced artist or a first-time paintbrush holder!
Arts Classes for Children and Young People Our creative groups for children and young people inspire curiosity, develop skills and help children to make friends through creative play.

Artwork produced by participants will be displayed in our annual exhibition.

Duties: Volunteers are required to arrive 15 minutes before the session to assist in setting up and stay afterwards to help clear away. They will work alongside the artist facilitator and HCA staff to motivate, support and engage individually and in groups in a variety of digital arts tasks.
