To mark the 30th anniversary of amazing local charity Style Acre, enjoy the collaborative art project on display at Cornerstone between now & the end of August
Together in Textile is a collaborative art project that celebrates and unites those within Style Acre, encouraging teamwork and promoting creativity.
Anne-Marie Hicks of the charity says: “Throughout our 37 supported living houses, three community hubs, shared market garden and our social enterprises, there is a great sense of community and a passion for creativity. As we approach our 30th year we wanted to bring people we support together to contribute to a piece of art that celebrates being part of the Style Acre community.
“We have created a large fabric wall hanging that is made from a patchwork of about 70 pieces of material, each decorated by the people we support. This medium gave everyone the opportunity to participate as it could be adapted to suit people’s sensory and physical needs. Everyone worked in teams to create the art for their piece of art.”
The Style Acre team have worked with amazing local artist Eden Fay (find out more about her at edenfay.co.uk) and the project was also made possible thanks to a grant from the ClickArt Foundation.
Established in 1995, Style Acre now supports 275 adults in supportive, creative and dynamic environments that allow them to fulfil their potential and live the life they choose. Visit styleacre.org.uk
