A Flourish Manifesto: valuing what we do and why we do it
Flourish is ACAVA’s free family art programme launched days before the Grenfell Tower Fire and has since been defined by that event. Seven years later, our colleagues Lisa Nash (Curator, Social Practice) and Isabella Niven (Head of Social Practice) sit down to reflect on the core Flourish values of Authenticity, Discovery, Exploration, Play and Wellbeing and wrote a Flourish manifesto.
We run free programmes co-created with communities
