In today’s Meet the Volunteers, let us introduce you to the fantastic Michael Skeen, who volunteered in our ReConnect workshops. If you too would like to volunteer, we are currently accepting applications, until 06 January.
Are you a graduate or undergraduate artist? Can you tell us what course you are on, or a little about your art practice?
I’m currently studying an undergraduate Fine Art Photography degree although my practice is multi-disciplinary.
In what workshop did you volunteer?
ReConnect
Why did you apply to volunteer at Project Ability?
I applied because art has been of huge benefit to my mental health, I believe being creative to be a healing and positive force that can change lives.
Did your experience live up to your expectations?
Yes definitely.
What have you learned from your experience with us?
I feel much more confident interacting with people I don’t know very well, and my view of art has changed for the better.
Do you have a favourite Project Ability artist or art work that has stood out for you?
I’ve been really impressed by everyone, there are some really gifted artists here.
Would you recommend others to volunteer with us?
Absolutely.
