Group Work

A symmetrical, abstract digital artwork with vibrant, rainbow-colored patterns on a black background. The design features intricate, repeating motifs resembling scales or cellular structures, creating a kaleidoscopic effect.

Kaleidoscope

We started our Kaleidoscope group in April, for young people aged 12-16, who are diagnosed or self-identify as autistic. Sessions are youth-led, with a focus on wellbeing, confidence building, and creating positive friendships in a safe and inclusive environment.

Jigsaw

We run weekly expressive arts sessions at Tollcross Primary School as part of The Jigsaw Project. Through creative activities, P6 and P7 pupils explore what it means to belong, build confidence, and think about a big question: do we really need to fit in?

Young Performers

This project gives young people the chance to take part in the Fringe as emerging performers. A group of teens will work with a music artist over 8 weeks to create an original live set, performed on the Fringe Community Stage on 28th August. Interested? Contact Cloe here.
