Using easily-accessible materials and techniques, this painting workshop looks to engage with themes of nostalgia, universal experiences, and daily rituals. Participants will be encouraged to paint scenes or objects from their everyday lives, helping them connect with creative processes and see beauty in their surroundings. This workshop is designed to make creative practice approachable and accessible to all!

Free to attend- acrylic paint, wood, and all equipment required will be provided. We just ask for you to bring an object or photo of a scene you wish to paint, and we will guide you through it step by step.

Wider Project Overview:

Another Day is a collaborative project between curator Francesca Fryer and artist Aaron Jolley, exploring how the everyday can be perceived and engaged with through processes of care, facilitation, and nostalgia. This project will culminate in an exhibition of paintings, at Elevator Studios in Liverpool in May 2025.

Aaron’s work is inspired by his observations of the everyday- rooftops, reflections in windows, and the quiet intimacy of spaces we inhabit. They resonate with universal experiences, allowing even those unfamiliar with contemporary art to connect with the work. The exhibition will create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can feel comfortable and engaged, and demonstrate how creativity can emerge from the mundane, offering a fresh perspective on art’s role in community life.

The exhibition will be complemented by events designed to foster connection, discussion, and create a welcoming space for community engagement. These will aim to break down barriers often associated with galleries, making the art experience more accessible.
