Pivot Fest - This New Ground Digital Drawing: Self-Portrait Session

A relaxed, artist-led workshop exploring digital drawing using iPads and Procreate. Participants will create a self-portrait at their own pace with support from This New Ground artists.

No previous experience is needed. Everyone is welcome. The session is inclusive and accessible, with clear guidance and flexible ways to take part. You will have a self-portrait to take away at the end.

This event is part of Pivot Fest, Portsmouth’s first-ever Learning Disability Arts Festival. Over three inspiring days, Aspex Portsmouth will be transformed in a full-gallery takeover curated by the TNG Inclusive Arts Committee, a powerhouse group of 13 learning disabled artists. Artists from across the UK will share music, dance, theatre and visual art that challenges assumptions, explores new ideas and brings joy, visibility and resistance to the stage.
