 So, after almost 2 years off the premises, we're finally back open. We didn't waste any time and jumped straight in. Back into factory-style mass production of crazy painting and sculpturing. Back to laughter, song and endless cups of tea.

We are so happy to be back.


We are planning lots of new projects, so watch this space and get in touch if you want to get involved.


But for now, here's some far-out work, produced at the Gate by the arts crew:




'Tails' by Richie:





'Art Work' by Mary:





Something by Jason:

Gate Kicks a spring searching for love

Hello Gate Kicks' friends,

Every Wednesday at 1.30 PM we broadcast our weekly radio show Gate Kicks! on Resonance FM

Yesterday,  our presenters Labake Anisere and Richie Boakye, aka MC Top Richie, talked about spring, love and the difficulties that people with learning disabilities have to face to find the right person to share a romantic relationship. Maybe places such as The Gate can be a space to meet people through different artistic and cultural activities,  this art centre soon will be opened to the public,  check this blog for further announcements. Also, there is an online agency where people with learning disabilities can join and take part in their social activities programme, this special place is called Love4Life, for more info please visit:   https://www.fitzroy.org/love4life/

Now we leave you with the last episode of Gate Kicks! Please seat, relax and enjoy!!
