Sensory Collective

Independent Arts Projects aim to create space and sensory art projects with and for three distinct groups: people with complex Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC); people with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD); and people with Dementia. We are particularly interested in working with those living with these conditions who often have complex needs and challenging behaviour(s) and who would benefit from low-capacity, exclusive sensory arts experiences to cater to their needs and interests, as well as others who may find it most difficult to access mainstream arts activity.
