About the Working Together Toolkit



This Toolkit shares learning and resources that you can use in your own projects. It aims to support you to work with other people to make art, explore exhibitions and have creative conversations.

The Working Together project was a partnership between:

> Brighton CCA gallery, a centre for contemporary arts at the University of Brighton's Grand Parade Campus (2019-2023)

> Grace Eyre, a charity working with people with learning disabilities, autism and mental health issues in Brighton & Hove

> The University of Brighton, a centre for education defined by the four core values of inclusivity, sustainability, creativity and partnership.

Working Together was a series of 6 workshops in which we co-learned and co-created artwork in response to Brighton CCA’s exhibitions.
