During lockdown and beyond, Studio Meraki are supporting and inspiring our local community with the creation and distribution of Art Kits to families who might be finding life particularly difficult to navigate during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This week saw us send out our 2000th 'Art Kit' since the beginning of lockdown. We have been working within our East Bristol community since 2016 bringing creative projects to local residents and organisations.  

Our Art Kits were designed in a very short space of time to respond to the Covid 19 situation, and we have been working with a different artist each week to bring high quality creative projects to families who might be finding this time particularly challenging.

Working with local organisations delivering essential support, we have sent out kits out to 200 families, every week for ten weeks. Focusing on simple activities, the kits are designed by local artists to inspire creativity, develop skills, and provide a welcome distraction.

Please see the Art Kits page on our website https://www.studiomeraki.org/art-kits for more details, and do get in touch if you'd like to know anything else.
