Horizons is a two year project funded by the Big Lottery. Working with residential care homes of local authority Looked After Children and secure units for young offenders, we will be delivering programmes that use museums, galleries and heritage as inspiration but can respond in any artistic media. The project aims to deliver Trinity and Guildhall Arts Awards over two years.
We delivered an exciting and innovative project in HMP Askham Grange with Stretch artist Kay Goodridge. The theme was 'Landscapes' and we worked in partnership with the South Square Gallery in Bradford with a group of 10 female prisoners. We were able to work in the prison and out on location in Thornton.

"I really enjoyed the singing and the whole day, it gave me confidence, I didn't feel shy, I never do anything like that - I loved the old table football machine"
