arteast is a budding visual arts enterprise which provides opportunities for people with learning disabilities to participate and train in the arts.
arteast's overall aim is to enable people with learning disabilities in Tower Hamlets to collaboratively run a creative business enterprise.
Through gaining commissions and selling their products, arteast are starting to employ some of their members.
Working with professional artists at the Bromley by Bow Centre, arteast design and create merchandising items such as T-Shirts, banners, bags, badges and shop displays.
The enterprise supports members to learn key skills required to run the business, including basic drawing and painting skills, printmaking and graphic techniques as well as marketing skills.
