The International Women's Art Programme's aims are to create a safe space for women to come together through art making to engage in positive social cohesion as multi-cultural women around the world. The projects are inclusive there are no boundries in the types of women that we work with including many agencies that support women's groups and networks.

Art in the Environment- Bicton College Devon

This project took place last year at Bicton Agricultural College with third year part-time Fine Art Degree students from The Partnership Faculty of  The University of Plymouth and Exeter College.
 The residential was facilitated and co-ordinated by Nicci Wonnacott , Module Leader in Art in the Environment with Dr Anthony Escot Fine Art Program Leader.
On our first day we had a peaceful walk around the the Bicton Estate so as , which offered the group space and time to connect with the landscape.
We camped at Bicton under an Autumn full moon, the next day we gathered found materials whilst weaving personal stories. The students worked together to create their final piece of work,
 'The co-joining of rings' was made from willow and decorated with flora from the farm. Nicci chose the site, which over looked the beautiful landscape of East Devon for a back drop to the Sculptural work.
We later discovered that a wedding was being held there that day, this gave the project a sprinkle of magic!
