On Wednesday 7th May, BGU’s Autism Art Group were delighted to donate a collage of their work to Tesco, to be displayed in the Community Room. The group, which is supported by funding from Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month in the art studio on campus. The sessions are led by artist Dr John Rimmer, and the group is working towards an exhibition to form part of the Learning and Teaching conference in July.
The collage was put together by John from work created by all the group members, and was described by Ann-Marie Hanson, the Community Champion at Tesco Lincoln Extra, as "fabulous!". Ann-Marie and John are pictured here, together with volunteer supporter of the group, Associate Professor Clare Lawrence.
The group is open to anyone who identifies as autistic, and to supporters and friends. Sessions run from 5.30pm to 7.30pm in a warm, accessible and relaxed atmosphere. All are welcome, and there is no charge. For further information, please contact john at john.rimmer@bishopg.ac.uk
