Art gallery

The concept of LENS was created by local community partners, as we at Magenta, looked at the challenge of engaging people within our communities that we do not often reach. The exhibition showcases individual interpretations of ‘Lived Experiences’.

Each piece of art is a unique representation of personal or collaborative experiences from within our communities. We hope you enjoy looking at a small sample of the LENS artwork from each of the different perspectives.

The art has been produced from within our communities, with groups including young people; colleagues; customers with additional needs; and several others. Each piece offers a unique insight. They were facilitated by community partner organisations who work with people with additional needs and experiencing mental health issues. The project was funded through the social value commitment of our supply chain.

Creative arts offer a unique way of engaging people and bringing together people in a positive and collaborative way and LENS has produced real partnership working as well as some of the stunning art pieces on display.

If you would like us to bring the art gallery to you please contact us on communityregenerationteam@magentaliving.org.uk or 0808 100 9596 and ask for Jamie Martin or Kerri Burson.

    Artwork by Kate Croft

    I wanted to capture how I feel in my role within social housing. While it can be difficult, I enjoy that we offer people safe places to make their homes. I have tried to use imagery of tree roots in the background as I feel that we are woven into the heart of our communities, and show that we have a strong and established base to provide our customers and colleagues room to bloom.
