This #JoyProject piece @newartgallery was made by young people from Braidwood Trust School for the Deaf. The 'Tree of Joy' has a trunk in the school's branding with 2 large profiles of hands signing "joy" at the base. The foliage is made of hands decorated with what 'joy' means.

We worked with Funky Kids to create a "Funky D:Art Board" @newartgallery. Initial workshops highlighted darts as a common theme -the @LukeTheNuke180 effect! Each person decorated their own segment and the final piece is shown with Chris Clinton works which also use dart boards.
