Community Art School
Our Community Art School project has now finished, however we are fundraising to start a new Art School project in partnership with East London Textile Arts (ELTA). For updates on how our fundraising for this is going, please contact our Managing Director Alice Amponsah at alice@hopefulfutures.net.

About our Community Art School
Thanks to funding from the National Lottery, we ran a two year Community Art School project from September 2022 – September 2024, working with over 40 neurodiverse artists!
Our Ethos
Neurodiverse people can feel pressure to ‘mask’ who they truly are to fit into society’s accepted norms. Our art school facilitator Carys Orphan is autistic herself. She ran our community art school which was a non-directive art group, a place where neurodiverse adults met to create art that reflected who they are and what was important to them.
Our ‘This is Me’ Exhibition
We celebrated our Community Art School project at our Annual General Meeting in September 2024, where we held a week long exhibition in Stratford Library called ‘This is Me’.
