Projects

Amanda Callis community art project – colourful mural backdrop

Why work with me?

I am passionate about making creativity accessible to all, I am conscious of ensuring projects are accessible to all needs and ensuring the client gets the best and most engaging project from the brief they give me.

Experience

I have worked in Community Arts since the second year of my degree; working up from a student mentor to running my own Social Enterprise; Cool it Art – which provides free creative opportunities for the community, since 2013!
