Past Outreach Projects
In June 2017, Collective31 created a fun 'Music and Art' Outreach day for schools in the London Borough of Hillingdon. Over 50 students ranging from ages 5-18 came to Ickenham Village Hall where they took part in a range of activities. These included composing their own music, inspired by artwork brought along by local artist Shivashtie Poonwassie, to creating paintings inspired by live music performed to them by Collective31 director Naomi Wright.

This project was generously funded by Hillingdon Council.
