Thank you for taking the time to explore my project Oceans of Imagination. Below is a selection of information prepared in support of my Arts Council application.

​

• Two supporting letters:

  • Following meetings with the team at Queen Alexandra Hospital and Aidan's Activity Fund, both organisations have expressed their enthusiasm for the project.

  • They have provided written support to further strengthen my application.

• Portfolio of previous work:

  • A selection of images showcasing over seven and a half years of creative delivery, including:

    • After-school craft clubs

    • School holiday clubs

    • Pop-up holiday workshops

    • Creative camps

    • School murals

    • Additional community focused creative projects

• Images from the 2022 ‘We Shine’ light event (funded by Portsmouth Creates):

  • Delivered a Fairy and Elf Door Workshop for more than 100 children across Portsmouth, including participants from the children’s wards at Queen Alexandra Hospital and several local schools.

  • I collected all completed doors and designed and built a large-scale magical installation in Victoria Park, Portsmouth, exhibited across three nights in November.

  • After the event the fairy and Elf doors were returned to the children to enjoy. 

• Creative practitioners who have expressed an interest in the project:

  • I regularly deliver a wide range of workshops to give children the opportunity to explore various art forms.

  • For this project, I plan to invite experienced creative practitioners throughout the year to deliver in-depth, specialist workshops that complement and extend the creative experiences offered.
