StreetDraw runs arts-based events, exhibitions, creative projects, and talks, to help us all see where we live through fresh eyes and to support people facing or experiencing housing insecurity or homelessness.
HOPE FOR CORNWALL? EXHIBITION
From 15th-19th October there will be an exhibition at The Poly in Falmouth of the artwork from Hope for Cornwall. The book was written and illustrated by StreetDraw founder Helen Trevaskis and tells the story of Cornwall’s housing crisis in an informative blame free way.
