Led by Louise Blackwell, Charlotte Vivian and James Barton, the project celebrates creativity and shines a light on lesser known creative roles through a year round programme of workshops, creative collaborations, mentoring and work place visits. Working in partnership with artists, local businesses and people aged 8 to 80 yrs who don’t have access to creative opportunities in their everyday lives.

The children have grown and flourished all round. It has impacted hugely on their self-confidence, conviction to try, positive engagement and their desire to be creative in lots of different groups. class teacher, Benfield Primary School
To have the chance to work with creative professionals aged 9 is phenomenal on a multitude of levels. It has widened her horizons inspiring her, providing knowledge, advice, linking her passions to tangible careers to aspire to. Attending the children’s showcase was amazing!

We piloted the project in 18/19 in partnership with Benfield Primary School and BHASVIC 6th Form College and since then have worked with partners such as the Hummingbird Project, Miss Represented, Amaze Sussex and GB Met.
I think LOOKOUT has made me more open to saying ‘yes’ to opportunities and being more confident in my creativity. BHASVIC mentee
