The Art Escape Project

The Art Escape project organised by Dagmar Schilling began in September 2013 and has attracted many talented Artists, coming together to exchange their ideas, skills, techniques and knowledge. The group of aspiring Artists meet weekly in The Forrest Centre which is located in the centre of Edinburgh overlooking the Castle which dominates the city. The Artists studio provides a peaceful haven in the midst of the bustling city allowing the group members to relax, unwind and produce some outstanding works of Art.
The Art escape project involves encouraging Artists, women in particular by using Art to explore their identities giving them the opportunity to learn, advance, develop, gain new skills, improve their confidence and hopefully also their lives in some way.
The workshops hope to encourage and inspire by studying and identifying with well known female artists some of which who have endured various setbacks in their lives and have overcome them through expression and therapy within their art. (Christine Morison)
