Foreground has forged partnerships with Connexions, Frome and the fine art courses at The University of the West of England to provide a series of work placements during Intervention/Decoration.

These placements provide a unique opportunity for young people to increase confidence and make a contribution to their community alongside gaining skills and experience that will enhance their professional development into employment.

"Intervention/Decoration will provide a much valued volunteering experience to young people who are at risk of disengaging from employment training and education and will allow them to develop an awareness of and pride in their own town." Lauren Jefferies, Connexions Somerset

"This was the first time I had ever worked with a practicing artist and I was eager to get stuck in. Being a part of the creative process, making the artwork, was an excellent opportunity. It will be great to know when the work is installed that I was a part of it". Joseph Gower, BA Fine Art student, University of the West of England.
