Assunta and Lou Art Club

Assunta and Lou’s After School Art Club is a mobile, intergenerational art project led by artist Assunta Ruocco in collaboration with her daughter Lou. Centred around a transportable quilted print studio, the Art Club creates open-ended spaces for making, storytelling, and experimentation in libraries, community centres, and art spaces. It invites children and families to explore printmaking, drawing, and collaborative installation in an environment that values process over product, and play over prescription.

The project explores themes of care, co-creation, and access, and reflects Ruocco’s wider research into artist–parent support structures and sustainable creative practices. Assunta and Lou’s Art Club is part of a wider programme of workshops, exhibitions and residencies supported by Arts Council England through a Developing Your Creative Practice grant.
