about aspire

Aspire is Project Ability’s visual arts training and workshop programme for adults with learning disabilities. The programme takes place in our new accessible workshop in Trongate 103 and offers a wide choice of creative opportunities.

Classes run in eight week sessions throughout the year and you can choose from a one hour, one and a half hour or three hour class. The class sizes are kept small and we will work with you to address your support needs and access requirements. Two professional artists are on hand to offer guidance and a large range of materials are provided.
