Owning Identity – Sarah Felis

23 Jan - 28 Feb

Thursday - Saturday 10:00 - 16:00

# data[].attributes.body
fountain arts is chuffed to host ‘Owning Identity’ the first solo exhibition by Sarah Felis.

Through the lens of psychology and sociology, Sarah spotlights queer identity as a renewed backlash threatens hard-earned gains for the community. Using digital photography they and a variety of models have created bold, colourful portraits which ask us to consider the ways in which our own identity has many parts that come together to create a complex web of what it means to be human.

Each photoshoot is an opportunity to explore the identities we choose and the identities chosen for us, creating a challenging series affirming that sex is not equivalent to gender. Placing both masculine and feminine side by side, they achieved this by playing with gender expression, particularly for the non-binary models.

Hello Volunteers,

Thank you for organising the Summer picnic 13:00 Sunday 20 July!

Really looking forward to it!!!

fountain arts has decided to have an extended summer break until 4 September.

This means there will be no opportunities to volunteer until then, as we will be closed to the public. This break will allow us to:

Complete funding bids

Improve our space

Update policies

Improve our website

Michael to look after Beau :)

This break has been taken with the view to return in September with an enhanced volunteer offer. Until then...

All volunteers are invited to our AGM to meet our directors at 14:30 15 July at fountain arts. This is an opportunity to meet the other people leading the organisation and hear about our plans for the future.

If I don’t see you there I’ll see you at the picnic on the 20th July.

Kind regards,

Carl Anderson

Studio since November 2024

A visit to Hull Ferens Art Gallery many years ago sparked in me a love of paint and canvas. At that time I was particularly attracted to paintings from the Baroque period. Currently I am inspired by the timelessness of nature and enjoy painting landscapes, especially scenes which contain a river or stream. My primary medium is oil paint in a realist style, though I occasionally work in acrylic or mixed media.

Past projects have included portraits of people and animals. One of my portraits is in the collection at Trinity House in Hull.

At Fountain Arts I hope to be inspired, expand my portfolio and explore different painting techniques.

# data[].attributes.body
Started: Nov 2024

Skills: Photography, oil painting, writing, working in the background to support others, cleaning, eating cake.

Wants to: Develop self-confidence and connect with other creative people. improve my skills.

# data[].attributes.body
Attending: Issac, Adrienne, Lena, Yen, Sarah, Michael

Agenda:

in future, will be going over parts of the policy in volunteer meetings

show people how to find the activity demo

current project: project space is empty. next project - into town. "alternative history of Scunthorpe town centre" - map + interactive guided tour. every saturday kids will be here to be part of the project. every sunday adults will be here to be part of the project. long term result - there'll be a guide to hand to members of public. short term - there'll be some guided tours, tickets available with info in the window. free project, funded by govt. building knowledge with public. if someone comes in with knowledge, ask if we can record that so they can be a part of the project. volunteer responsibilities, tell people! ask if they want to participate, then listen to stories, getting them to write it down or recording it (audio/video) michael to add prompts to the padlet. ongoing there'll be a "heritage station" with resources on local history

we have a printer/photocopier! a3 colour. was donated by a company in leeds who were impressed with the into town project. will be working out a procedure on how volunteers/studio holders can use it and pay for what they've used. NO public use.

visit from people from the library next week. we'll be asking for the expertise and then hopefully some cash.

opening to public from tomorrow time tbc, but michael will be here from 10

good news! electricity contract ends, so new contract has been able to be renegotiated at 60% less!!

more good news - north lincs council have agreed to not charge us any business rate relief going forward AND have that backdated, saving us 9k a year

weekly schedule - fiddled with the website to see if we could put it there but didn't really work. so, why do we actually want this? is it because we don't have enough volunteers and people are worried shifts aren't being covered? solution - gonna do a recruitment drive for more volunteers during specific hours and specific roles - i.e. front of house.

most experienced volunteers get together to create a " Volunteer handbook". change the expectation from "you can do what ever you want" to "which of these slots that need filling can you fill?"

make sure we're putting jobs that need doing on here! so we can pick up on those things.

make a list of "every day jobs" on padlet in interim before volunteer padlet.

training - child safeguarding training was cancelled. will be rearranged.

gritcoin - what can people offer? what do people need? let's add peoples services to padlet.

gritcoin automation is working! no problems there! makes it easier for those not confident with i.t. to manage.

make sure we don't allow people to eat and drink in exhibition space.

make a birthday calendar on the padlet - please put your birthday in the comments!

Managing difficult and challenging people workshop notes

# data[].attributes.body
"De-escalation" bring challenging energy down to a safe place.

Its important we feel safe in the studio and capable of managing challenging situations.

Security team 2 min walk away. Carl or Wayne (security) number on poster by Michael's desk. Feel free to save their number in your phone.

We are CCTV protected. Take a look around to familiarise yourself with their locations. Feel free to point them out to challenging people, they are an effective deterrent.

Identifying someone with challenging behaviour - shouting, sweating, making threats, being demanding, getting in your personal space (within arms length).

Worst thing to do is ignore it. It can get worse and it gives them permission to behave like that in the space.

Your body language is important. Keep your hands available and visible.

If someone takes a step away from you they're uncomfortable, you should take a step away too.

Try avoid facing someone, stand at an angle away from them if possible.

Keep your voice calm, slow and low tone.

Humans naturally mirror each other.

Do your very best to stay calm in these situations!

There should be another person in the studio.

If you're in the back and hear something concerning, make sure you go assist the volunteer at the front of the studio.

Safe word is "is Andy available?" and means we need help from other volunteers.

Don't stand by the door, it blocks the exit.

Inconspicuously guide people to the exit, slowly walk toward door whilst having a conversation.

Maybe ask "what are you doing later?"

Listen to them, nod, people like to be heard, especially when they are unhappy. Use encouraging noises.

"How can I help?" "Can I get you a glass of water?" - plastic cup though! Not even a mug. Don't leave them alone in the front.

House rules are on the wall by the windows. Refer to these. "I'm sorry these are our rules I have to ask you to leave". Protect us and members of the public using the service/space.

Don't physically remove someone. Call security instead.

When calling security, if Carl or Wayne don't answer, call police 999.

If a person giving you trouble takes a step outside the door, close it and lock it.

If door is locked people can move into the back, get out of view of windows.

If there's two challenging people they could cause a distraction while the other steals. Be aware of this. Work together if this happens.

If people wanna steal stuff, let them. It's stuff. You're more important.

If you're on your own and need to go into the back, use the back in 10 sign and lock the door.

If there's a group of people being dangerous and you're on your own, leave.

Call security or walk to the office. Even use back door (fire door) in real emergency.

Your safety is most important.

Something bad happening outside? Don't get involved.

Concerned about anything? Call security.

Public can't use toilets. Exceptions, kids covered in paint with a parent.

Nearest public toilet is in market.

Be conscious of those with additional needs, they can be challenging in different ways.

Public personal hygiene - it's not our place to have conversations with people about personal hygiene but it is a sign they're a vulnerable person so be sensitive, as with any people that may have additional needs.

Other challenges include people unable to understand social cues or personal space. People who struggle with hearing or speech.

A divider is needed to separate studio space from public areas. We need to be aware of the property that is beyond this area and the non volunteers and studio holders should be accompanied at all times beyond this point.

A sign showing no public toilets, this would help enforce the message from volunteers as some people can be very pushy and insistent and it is difficult to say no!

Volunteers are encouraged to take photos of daily activities for us to share on social media and report to funders on what we do.

PLEASE NOTE: Any photographs of people taken, that cearly show their face, MUST be consented to and a consent form signed by the individual. If the person in the picture is under 13 years old, a parent / guardian MUST sign the consent form for them BEFORE any images are taken. All pictures must be captured on the fountain arts iPhone (ask Michael for this).

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you take photographs of children on your own phones or cameras, this is a breach of our child safeguarding policy.
