Connecting older people with art and artists to inspire creativity, friendships, and conversation.
Snapshots is a new group for older people who meet for monthly sessions at The North Wall, a mixture of daytime and evening events. Spaces are free and refreshments will be provided. People will be invited to share their stories with us and then enjoy a performance, talk or exhibition at The North Wall.
This group is a legacy project following a pilot that we ran in April 2023 called A New Constellation, where a group of older people from our local community collaborated with an artist to create new work.
