Are you curious about creating art?

Do you want to be a part of a change and make a difference?

Please note that this project is for people living or working in East London.

Magic Me is a charity organisation based in East London, Tower Hamlets that exists to bring generations together through Creative Arts, to build a stronger, safer, and more integrated community.

We are looking to recruit young adults 18+ to join us for our Creative Community Project that will be running over a duration of 6 weeks (July-Sept 2022). We will be organising weekly creative sessions for  participants, led by professional artists allowing both the younger and older generations to connect within a care scheme. Through creating art, socialising and being able to intertwine different generations, be part of a project that makes a heartfelt and rewarding impact on the community. At the end of the project, there will be a community arts event to celebrate our achievements and exhibit the artwork.
