The Royal Acadamy of Arts at Crisis Hold Sessions at The Whitechapel Centre

Last week a group of people from the very prestigious Royal Academy of Arts at Crisis, came and took two sessions at our Enablement Centre in Langsdale Street.

The sessions were attended by 16 people, and involved them learning then using different techniques when drawing, including charcoal and shading.

The sessions helped to rekindle a lost love for art in some of those taking part, and has encouraged them to do more arts with Crisis in the future.


A buffet was then put on for those who had taken part, rounding off what had proven to be a very successful and enjoyable session.

It was a real treat that those who use our services were given the opportunity to learn from such highly skilled and talented people.

Annie Mac Lean, Arts Co-ordinator from Crisis Skylight Merseyside said, “A huge thank you to the Whitechapel Centre staff who were extremely supportive and spoiled us with a buffet lunch. Without their help we would not have reached as many people."
