HOPE CIRENCESTER

The Arts Society Corinium has approved a charitable grant for Hope Cirencester in 2025.

The charitable grant will enable Hope Cirencester to continue to deliver their weekly ‘Exploring The Arts’ sessions at the Salvation Army Hall for a further year. The weekly sessions during term time are run by Bernie Mann and have been going since 2021.

The Exploring The Arts sessions demonstrate to attendees different artistic techniques and crafts and attendees are encouraged to practice what they learn. The sessions cover, amongst many other aspects, drawing techniques, painting techniques, colour mixing and collage. In the past there have also been talks given by Lecturers from Cirencester College regarding watercolours, Mandala dotting and weaving and visits to Bingham Gallery.

The sessions aim to broaden a general awareness of art and to encourage participation in artistic endeavours amongst those who might not otherwise have that opportunity. Also, the sessions are able to promote a sense of community and belonging amongst those that attend.

A representative of The Arts Society Corinium will attend a future Exploring the Arts session in the near future.
