“Overall, it was extremely beneficial to undertake work experience with Nucleus Arts. Not did it provide a wealth of knowledge and useful experience which I can now apply for a variety of future roles, but it was a constant stimulus for creativity.”

‘Spending a day at Nucleus Arts was far more than inspiring: it was incredibly informative, a fascinating insight into how arts organisations work and a really good day out exploring the Medway campus and Chatham. We listened, discussed and made pictures with a photographer in the dark room who prompted the question: what is an ‘artist’? I will never forget the passion Nucleus Arts holds at its core, it’s made me realise art for change is what I want to work on. It’s given me a focus I wouldn’t have had otherwise.’
