Community arts programme given three year extension

Jersey artists Hayley Gibaut and Sophie Harris will continue their residency at The Stoodio in St Helier for another three years.

ArtHouse Jersey and Andium Homes have confirmed the pair will continue their residency at Cyril Le Marquand Court.

Over past 12 months, 'The Stoodio' has welcomed hundreds of people through its doors, offering free and inclusive creative activities designed to remove barriers to art, such as 'Sketch Social'.

The Stoodio has also expanded into community talks, private workshops and celebratory events.

Looking ahead, Hayley and Sophie plan to build on this momentum with an expanded programme of workshops, exhibitions and community-led events. 

Hayley and Sophie say they are 'overjoyed' to be extending The Stoodio in this space.

"It was never a one-year project for us, our passion comes from a deep belief in the power of art to bring people together and strengthen the community.

"Being given this extension really affirms why spaces like this are needed, and we’re incredibly grateful for the trust and support shown to us."
