Dawn even made it possible for me to bring my van right onto the promenade, which made setting everything up a dream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe had a fantastic turnout. Dover Smart Project brought along their own van, art supplies and plenty of enthusiasm, helping us create the collaborative masterpiece you see here today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFor Dover, I chose to paint a \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ehumpback whale\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e. Partly because I absolutely love painting humpbacks, but also because it felt strangely fitting for Dover. Huge, majestic ships are constantly arriving and departing its shores, much like these incredible migratory giants travelling vast distances across our oceans.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere was another important side to the day too. Several mental health organisations came along, including those supporting people experiencing addiction. During my time in Dover, I met a number of people who were homeless and invited them personally to join us. Sadly, they didn’t make it to the event, but there were people struggling with addiction who did come by and were able to discover some of the incredible support available to them locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThat, for me, is a huge part of what these events were always about. Sometimes simply bringing the right people and organisations together in the same place can create a connection that might genuinely change someone’s life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eI’m really excited to see what the future holds between \u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYour Art Connect and Dover Smart Project\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e.
