- Access to Art. This CUPP course involves University of Brighton art students as art advocates for artists with learning disabilities, allowing the artists to develop their artistic skills, access equipment and integrate into the mainstream arts course at Sussex Downs College. The FE students spend the first term exploring fine art, textiles and print making. They then specialise in the second term, building their portfolio of work. The University students gain important skills in working with others and developing their professional practice. Access to Art is already a national award winner (Higher Education Active Community Fund Student Volunteering Awards) and was assessed as “a truly pioneering project and one that should be picked up far and wide”.
