TAP into Art Education

Our Website

Based in Batley, West Yorkshire TAP into Art Education has been delivering adult education classes for over 10 years. We currently offer seven classes in three subjects – Textile Design, Fine Art and Digital Photography.

Having witnessed the transformation to people’s lives, we are committed to concept of lifelong learning, providing art education opportunities to people at various stages in life who would not otherwise be able to access it.

Many of our students are at risk of social isolation. We believe that by providing ongoing art education as opposed to drop-in crafting sessions or short term skill enhancement courses we are giving our students valuable mental stimulation when they are away from class. The creative process stretches beyond the 2 hour class and helps provide a feeling of connection that is otherwise missing from their lives.

Having lost much of our local government support we are trying to carry on as a self funding organisation. We are increasing our fees and running fund raising events. It might not be enough and anything you can give to support us would be hugely appreciated.
