Unspoken Colours is an engaging series of art workshops designed specifically for neurodivergent young people aged 16 to 25. Hosted at the YMCA Community Hub in The Cresset, Peterborough, these sessions offer a dedicated space to explore identity and build community through the power of creativity. Participants have the unique opportunity to work together on a collaborative mural, turning individual expression into a shared piece of public art. The workshops run every Wednesday evening from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM, starting on February 4th.
The program is led by Amanda Rigby, a professional artist and illustrator with extensive experience in school and community-based projects. Her work focuses on collaboration and large-scale art, with a philosophy centered on making the creative process joyful and inclusive. Under her guidance, the workshops aim to help young people feel seen and supported as they discover new ways to express themselves. Supported by Arts Council England and the YMCA Trinity Group, the event is free to join via the official sign-up link.

PAOS, in partnership with City College Peterborough, have arranged for a FREE online course to help members learn more about selling their art online.
The free online course was delivered in May 2021 However, due to the popularity of the course, the College recorded the session to enable artists who wish to benefit from the interactive workshop to catch-up with it on a FREE online/anytime pre-recorded session lasting around 2 hours.
The course, designed to help people who wish to promote sales of their work via the internet on platforms such as Artfinder and Peterborough’s own website designed for people living and working in the PE postcode area – www.peterboroughgiftshop.com. You will also learn how to develop SMARTER objectives to help you plan and deliver your own strategy.
The course, run by former PAOS member, Chris Lane, who runs his own successful marketing agency, Artinfusion, based in Thorney. Chris is also a digital marketing apprenticeship tutor and assessor, teaches digital marketing courses for the college and also sells his work on various sites including the online Peterborough Gift Shop (www.peterboroughgiftshop.com), Ebay and other online channels.
