Space for Wellbeing is a collaborative community design project led by artist Kate MacKay and a team of neurodivergent artists and designers working in textile, sound, garden design and painting.
Workshops will involve making, creating, designing and exploring the sensory quality of space. How does our environment make us feel and what can we do creatively to positively enhance the feeling of a space?
Artworks created will form part of a temporary space and artwork installation created especially for the festival at the Forres House Community Centre.
