DURATION

Sessions are bespoke but will usually be for 45 – 75 minutes. Running weekly over a period from 3 – 24 months.

FACILITATION

The sessions are run by experienced arts facilitators and cover a variety of different art forms, depending on the interests of the group.

COST

All projects for the groups aim to receive grant funding. Members can give voluntary donations to help cover some basic costs but do not pay for JaZanne Arts artists.

JaZanne Arts supports the groups to apply for funding or does so on their behalf.

MANAGEMENT

JaZanne Arts directors will ensure the smooth running of the projects. At least one of the directors plus other experienced arts facilitators will deliver the sessions along with trained older volunteers.
