Art Adventure is a programme by Arts and Minds. The group visits different venues in Cambridge and uses them as inspiration for creating art. It is a chance to draw or sketch with a group of friendly, likeminded people. No previous experience needed, just explore your creativity!
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- Creative engagement can improve confidence and self-esteem;
- Creative engagement promotes social connectedness;
- You can boost your confidence in exploring new places in a welcoming community.
“I had a lovely time sketching one of the paintings in the fellows coffee room – and met some lovely people. There is something very relaxing sketching quietly in a group together! – Thank you for creating this experience – I found it very uplifting.”

What to expect
Art Adventure is a community of people who come together to create and explore. The group meet once a month to visit different locations across Cambridge, including museums and art galleries.
Each session explores a new experience or theme. A volunteer facilitates the session, guiding the basic structure, but it is not a taught workshop – instead each participant is free to create as they like.
