What is social art?

​

Social art is the coming together of people to enjoy the pursuit of self expression, joy in making images and finding inspiration from each other in a non-judgemental way.

​

A space for social connection and where conversation can thrive.

​

Why?

​

It is a great way to switch-off your busy mind from your daily routine...And have some fun!

​

It's an ideal way to give yourself permission to just have a go and enjoy the experience - what you do doesn't have to be perfect - nor is it going to be judged.

​

It's highly immersive so you can't think about anything else.

​

Introduce some slow-time

​

It's ok to take a tech break from screen and social apps. Give yourself time to dwell and ponder about other stuff rather than what's happening on your social apps...somethings can wait.

​

Who's it for?

​

It's definitely not just for the arty folk, anyone can enjoy making art. Social art has been the foundation of many human civilisations for thousands of years.

​

So basically, if you're human then it's for YOU.

Art and Thrive - Jacqui Simpson

"The beauty of art is that it teaches us that some of our mistakes can often turn out better than our original intentions...

​

...It helped me put things into perspective and learn to keep positive about situations for which I had no control"

As a business woman I found it very difficult to switch-off from my busy routine and calm my mind.

​

It wasn't until I found something fully immersive that I started to learn how to unwind and relax.

​

From my own need to find a space and a place where I could completely lose myself and become totally detached from everyday work/life pressure, I realised that this could benefit others too - hence Art & THRIVE was born. So please come and experience a completely different carefree moment with me and my lovely team.

​

I have now been teaching and making art for over 20 years and have never looked back.

​

Best Wishes,

​
