ConnectPartnership Project
19 October - 02 November 2024
Connect is a partnership project between Mission Gallery, The Chinese in Wales Association and The Ethnic Minorities and Youth Support Team. The outcomes are proudly displayed in this exhibition.
Outside of educational settings accessing the arts can be difficult. Community members may face barriers such as cultural venues being inaccessible, financial constraints or a lack of confidence. Cysylltu/Connect addresses these barriers by delivering quality artist-led workshops programmed with three community groups; The Chinese in Wales Association Autism Support and Youth groups, and The Ethnic Minorities and Youth Support Team’s Asylum Seeker and Refugee Support Group. Combining onsite and offsite workshops, the sessions were a platform for creative development and improving social interaction, mental health, and wellbeing. Participants had the opportunity to try their hands at different mediums and work closely with a range of highly skilled professional artists. The work they have created is a testament to the joy of creativity and the talent here in Swansea.
