The company provides arts and craft provisions for the local and global community. Our aim is to enable people to connect with nature through the arts to raise awareness for ecology, conservation and sustainable behaviour, improve community cohesion and increase wellbeing in communities. We provide free and low cost, inclusive arts engagement, offering arts and craft education and opportunities for all, especially children, young people and those with disabilties. To ensure that the arts are accessible for all at a fair price, and to reduce barriers to participation. During the 2024-2025 financial year, Insecta Collective hosted a range of nature and climate themed arts workshops and events, including: An international open call exhibition run in a hybrid online/offline format, with a venue in Highcross Shopping Centre in Leicester city centre, organised in collaboration with Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust and Leicester College. This exhibition displayed over 200 climate concern postcards made by children, and entered into our (free to enter) Postcard Competition, and Earth themed artworks from children and adults from around the world. A raffle raised over £50 for the Wildlife Trust, and our workshops allowed visitors to explore making sculptures from egg boxes, using seeds and pulses to make mosaics, and painting on fabric with natural dyes. Leicester College students gained valuable work experience by co-curating the exhibition, the window displays and exhibition aesthetic, entering and exhibiting their own artwork in the exhibition, and manning the gallery. Other free and low cost community workshop activities included a natural rattles making workshop for children at Melton Space CIC in Melton Mowbray and a Henri Matisse inspired group nature collage for children that are home educated in Leicester.
Feedback is collected from the community participants we work with, during and after each workshop or event, through written/tick box surveys and verbal feedback. Participants have frequently said they enjoy the workshops & events, and want to attend future events. There was indication that some participants leave events feeling more connected to specific elements of nature or being more informed about ecology topics. Specific ideas for future workshops have been noted. Verbal feedback from Leicester College staff, and Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust was that our exhibition and event was beneficial to their own organisations aims and objectives. The mutual partnership benefits were noted, as potential future partnership opportunities.
