Projects & Collaborations

25-27 May 2024 : In 2024 the Tall Ships return to Gloucester Docks after years at sea. Come hear their tales of far-flung shores, sample their cargo, alongside epic live music and more...

​

For 2024 we're based in The Hideout along with Toc de Fusta's interactive installation made of large-scale automata, a giant metal whale swallowing audiences whole and the Wagon of Dreams. Join hands-on workshops and create your own nautical but nice arts and crafts to take home with you.

NG 200 celebrates the past and look forward to the future with a year-long festival of art, creativity and imagination, to set the tone for the third century of the National Gallery.  

There are events planned in the central London gallery as well as up and down the country. Create Glos is one of the host organisations for the travelling art studio programme, ‘Art Road Trip’, which will bring 200 workshops and learning activities to different communities who otherwise would not have ready access. 

We are working with Create Glos alongside partner organisations from across the county (Forest of Dean Working Group, Cam & Dursley Creatives, The Venture: White City and Culture Matson) to welcome the travelling art studio to 4 locations in July 2024. Find out more.

We had an excellent road trip to the National Gallery on 25th March 2024, as part of the Gloucestershire HAF Programme.

GAS Projects continued to work with Gloucester City HAF in 2024 to bring art workshops for teens. GAS Projects Art School was held at the Ewe Space on Matson Avenue and GRC Scrapstore at City Works in Alfred St. 

Not sure what HAF is?
"The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme is funded by the Department of Education for those in reception to year 11 who receive income-related free school meals."

In the same way that 19th century canal boat people used folk art to proudly enhance their environment and define their identities, the Folk for Folk project is creating folk art for the 21st century.

​

#FolkforFolk is a project at the National Waterways Museum Gloucester in 2024. It engaged young people with a programme of events and an exhibition inspired by the Canal & River Trust Folk Art collection. Find out more.

The Word Walk is an art trail to tell the story of the place and communities in Gloucester, that connects place and history to tell the stories of local people, past and present.
The ten artworks have been inspired by conversations and workshops with local people, as well as archive research about the locations. Find out more.

We’re testing a new model of playful and participatory arts in Gloucester - art you can take part in. The GAWP Art Weekender in September 2023 was a big celebration of creative talent in Gloucester, and we got as many young people, artists, creatives and community members involved as possible.  Find out more.

These are textile and collage pieces, made by our group and some of the young people from our 2023 HAF workshops, with inspirational and positive quotes from members of the community about how they feel about themselves and their area.
