Recent tragedies in the world have brought about severe suffering for many of us. But they have also shown us the courageous and supportive spirit of the people in our communities. There really isn’t a better time to feel inspired to help local communities through the power of art and art therapy. Community art and art therapy practices build trust, encourage pride and bring citizens together. This couldn’t be more important in today’s world where negative news seems to saturate our media outlets on a daily basis.
The University of Bolton’s MA Applied and Community Arts degree works in partnership with a range of creative art and cultural organisations. This gives you the real-world experience you need to sustain a successful career as a community arts professional. Whether you have just completed your undergraduate degree or are already working in the sector, this all-encompassing programme will equip you with the skills you need to make a difference.
