Art by adults with learning disabilities exhibited

Artwork produced by adults with learning disabilities is on display in Hull.

The charity CASE Training Services has teamed up with the city's Streetlife Museum to host the work.

The organisation helps people with disabilities gain new skills and enjoy social activities.

The Regeneration exhibition, which runs until 5 July, is described by organisers as "empowerment in expression".

Mark Cooke, chief executive of CASE Training Services, said: "It really brought out the passion in all our groups.

"We don't believe in the word 'no'. Everybody can do it and bring it out in their own individual way. I really hope people see that in the work."

There are "talking tiles" visitors can press to learn more about the artwork on display.

"Our trainees would love to update you on their work and the journeys they've been on," Cooke added.

Pete Vernon, a creative arts teacher at the charity, said he wanted to set up the exhibition to allow the trainees to showcase their artwork to the public.

"It's great that they can be creative in the classroom, but until they get the feedback from an exhibition like this, from displaying their artwork and seeing that other people value it, then we're not making the most out of the creative process."

Streetlife Museum curator Frankie Hodson said a range of work is on display.

"We've got sculpture, video, photography, and we've got paintings and portraits," she said.

"We just love being able to work with different communities and different people, and to show off their talents."
