Creative Hands Foundation (CHF) was set up in Rusholme by fine artists, Joseph Ayavoro, Sculptor/ Public Artist and Michelle Ayavoro, Community Textile Artist in March 2008. They identified a lack of facilities and activities available for local people, especially in the arts. They saw the potential of using art as a tool to engage with hard to reach groups and enabling interaction with isolated communities in Rusholme and neighbouring wards. Between them they have a wealth of over 20 years’ experience devising and delivering art workshops with different community groups. They are based at Trinity House Community Resource Centre.
Check out their website to find out more.
They are very supportive of helping to develop Rusholme as a creative space. They feel it is imperative to capture the diversity of cultures and movement in the local area in order to reflect the identity of Rusholme. One of the ideas they have for the future is to create an art installation when you come into Rushome which is an arch representing an entrance to the area. The arch would be designed to reflect the cultural diversity of Rusholme.
