Shine Arts: Creating safe and inclusive spaces for neurodivergent creatives
Satveer Kaur explores the inclusive world of Shine Arts and Wellbeing, a creative community space dedicated to neurodivergent individuals and those with additional needs, through conversations with founder Louise and several group members.
• Founded in 2022 as a Community Interest Company (CIC) by Louise, a former art teacher with 20 years of experience
• Creates a safe, supportive environment where neurodivergent individuals can express themselves creatively and build social connections
• Publishes their own magazine showcasing members' artwork, writing, and photography
• Collaborates with local organisations on public art installations and community projects
• Offers a variety of activities including painting, crafts, British Sign Language, and wellbeing sessions provided by Kaur Aura
• Members like Quinton, Max, Sian, and Ashley share their personal experiences of growth, confidence-building, and finding belonging
• Max discusses his successful YouTube channel Rexel Jet where he shares his illustrations
• The group provides opportunities for members to showcase their talents through exhibitions, community events, and collaborations
• Addresses the critical gap in support for neurodivergent young adults after they leave educational settings at age 18
• Future vision includes establishing a permanent hub where members can gather, create, and potentially find employment opportunities
