Individual and flexible programmes combine creative and
commercial work along with coaching, mentoring and volunteering opportunities. The project also runs a card making business and you can get involved in anything from designing and printing the cards to packing, marketing and
selling them.
Portugal Prints regularly team up with Tate, Westminster Adult Education Service and the Royal Academy of Arts for joint workshops. We also have a wide activity programme that includes gallery visits, coastal trips and picnics in the park. We hold two art exhibitions each year and run a thriving commercial design service.
We work closely with Mind in Brent, Wandsworth and Westminster’s BEST setvice, and many people who take part in our arts project go on to further education, volunteering or paid work.
