ENVISIONING RECOVERY
THROUGH ART
Child Of Project C.I.C. is a Community Interest Company delivering creative recovery and art intervention programs.
We believe in the transformative power of the creative process to support recovery, build resilience, and create pathways to new possibilities.
Our Process
Each mentorship is tailored to the artist’s pace and stage of recovery. It includes studio practice, feedback, public-facing opportunities and, where appropriate, paid work. Mentees gain confidence, autonomy and voice. Organisations benefit from embedded peer leadership and a model that develops artists sustainably.
Weekly mentorship sessions run at Saatchi Gallery and Hemel Hempstead.
Art Intervention
Workshops are core to Child Of’s model. We create accessible, hands-on spaces for creative exploration using textiles, sculpture, print and mixed media. We deliver in recovery settings, alternative provision schools, galleries and public spaces. Formats range from one-off public sessions to longer residencies focused on progression or exhibition. Workshops support wellbeing, authorship and skill-building. For partners, they offer flexible, high-impact tools for engagement and co-creation.
Mentorship
This six week workshop is designed to support participants in discovering their creative voice and overcoming the intimidation of a blank canvas. Through a gentle, step-by-step exploration of the creative process, the workshop builds confidence, encourages individual expression, and celebrates each participant’s unique style.
roots to employment
Child of mentorships supports people with lived experience of addiction or marginalisation to move into creative leadership. Mentees start by co-facilitating and grow into independent roles.
