Part-time Assistant Administrator volunteer position

Information about Imagine Imagine Therapeutic Arts is a community based project that has been running for 14 years. Currently run by Hisako Simon, Laura Ridolfi and Robin James, Imagine offers a safe space where, through art, people can turn their life crisis into an opportunity for self-renewal and change. Interested in the spiritual dimension of mental and physical health and in how the artistic practice can influence them, we work alongside the members in the shared studio space, thus creating a unique artistic-therapeutic community. Our aim is to facilitate each member’s access to their own creative potential. We provide a supportive and inspiring environment where personal creativity is cultivated and developed within a social context, through both open, as well as structured, theme-based groups for adults and young people.
