Our exhibitions and artist led projects provide a framework for events which bring together individuals and organisations inside and outside of the arts to engage in debate and creative practice. Our work is particularly focused on issues of social inclusion and diversity and seeks to engage with global issues while being rooted in the history of our locality.We showcase six projects annually in our gallery spaces at 198 Contemporary Arts and Learning and also work in partnership with other organisations to deliver touring exhibitions and off site projects. We aim to develop projects which provide opportunities for young people to engage with the visual arts and gain experience in the creative and cultural industries through links with our creative learning programme and by offering apprenticeships, volunteering and work experience.Creative Learning:In tandem with our artistic programme, 198 works with local young people aged 13-25 with multiple and complex needs through our Creative Learning training and outreach programmes. Our programme of skills development, one-to-one support, advice and mentoring provides young people with opportunities to have a voice, reconnect with learning and work towards careers in the Creative and Cultural industries.
