About the Big Issue Vendor Art Programme:
The Art sessions are part of The BIG ISSUE Vendor social development programme.
These take place once per month on the day when Vendors are introduced to the latest magazine and have other trainings and workshops. They all happen on the same day so that the Vendors only need to come into the office once.
The Sessions are open to anyone who is keen to participate, there is no judgment on ability or experience.
Each session offers a theme for the Vendors to explore often inspired from nature and reflection on inner qualities and relationships. The exercises are designed to warm, nurture and allow for free exploration. There are people who attend regularly and there is great joy when the pictures appear in the magazine or are sold. New vendors are encouraged to join in.
