Spartans Alternative School students present ART OFFENDERS
ART OFFENDERS is the first exhibition presented to you by CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS
Wednesday 8th December 2021
4pm – 7pm
Spartans Community Football Academy, Ainsley Park, 94 Pilton Drive
This event is FREE
Prior to the pandemic, the young people who attend Spartans Alternative School connected their art with their social enterprise project and named it CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS.
Their mission was to create awareness and positive change while they explored different ways of creating art. This year they spoke a lot about war and the negative impacts that battle and war has had on the lives of our soldiers when they return home.
This exhibition features drawings, paintings, creative writing, film and 3D work that will be available to purchase. Specially designed cards, prints and mugs will also be on sale at our ‘pop up shop’. They have chosen to donate money raised, to Scottish Veterans residences, based in Edinburgh.
SCOTTISH VETERANS RESIDENCES, provides supported housing for former members of the UK Armed Forces who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Their services are located in Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow.
We look forward to welcoming you to come enjoy some Artwork and support our mission, to raise funds for Scottish war veterans.
