Idea generation

Collaborative Art Space

The idea is to use empty spaces and transform it in Collaborative Spaces, where Artists could share their knowledge with people who would like to taste a new artistic skill.

The Collaborative Space could be a taster workshop where the Teacher could offer small workshops and the learners could just try it.
It could be any type of art, could be related about music, painting, drawing, dancing, singing, absolutely any artistic skill could be welcome.

The Teachers could offer their taster workshops for free, in a voluntary way, and the learner could just register and participate in the workshops offered.

It could be very useful because for one side the Teachers could have an opportunity to develop their Teaching skills and on the other hand the Learners could have their free taste of the workshops before purchasing them.

The one important thing is that like-minded artists will have the opportunity to get know each other to see where future collaborative projects could start.

In this Collaborative Art Space, we could add a writing board where people could write down their ideas about any Collaborative Project, giving an opportunity to interested people to participate in them.

We need to realise that mainly in London too many people are from outside of UK and for this people is not always easy to find new friends in here, they could feel a little bit alone

This would be a great opportunity to try something new before purchasing a full course!! And a great way for the teachers to advertise their skills. Brilliant. Please post when it’s up and running
