The Italian Community Arts Project (ICAP)

The Italian Community Arts Project (ICAP) began in 2014. It is an art project including artist-led workshops for children aged 6-12 held at The Italian Community Centre and further collaborations with families at the annual Italian Festival in Peterborough.
ICAP is led by Artist Pina Santoro-Ellwood who aims to engage with the community in a relaxed informal way. The project is designed to introduce contemporary art to children, teens, adults and elders inspired by the Italian culture.

Through art-based projects and activities the ICAP project is a helpful tool of documentations and experiences for future generations to understand the traditions and Italian culture.
