PARTICIPATORY WORKS

Hattie Collins' Work as an Arts Facilitator

Hattie Collins is a firm believer that the arts should be accessible to all. Art is not only an outlet for communication and creative development and expression, but also a necessity for human progress. Collins works with a variety of individuals and organisations across many artistic methodologies to ensure the power and potential of art is shared.
