Event: Working Together – invite to celebrate our toolkit and project | 11am-1pm on 17 July 2024 at the Towner Gallery

  Working Together was a partnership project between a university, a gallery and a community organisation that grew out of an MA Inclusive Arts Practice module of the same name. It provided a creative and social space for people with learning disabilities, students, graduates and gallery, university and support staff to work together, meaningfully engage with an arts venue and exhibition, make art and co-learn and co-produce knowledge.
