Venture Arts is an organisation in Hulme which provides arts workshops for people with learning disabilities. 7 members of the group participated in the This Place Is workshop in July 2011 and spent the morning exploring the Stretford Road Area of Hulme, recording in photographs what they thought about the place around them. This was an interesting opportunity to explore an alternative set of perspectives of the area to those held by the members of the Hulme History Society during the I Remember workshop.

The Venture Arts group agreed that they all had fun during the 2 hour session and that they enjoyed looking at the buildings and taking the pictures. Photographs from the session were on display from the 1st to the 12th of August 2011 in the Holden Gallery Café at the Manchester School of Art.

On the 4th of August 2011, members from the group visited the Holden Café Gallery to view the work for the first time. They  also each received a souvenir brochure to take away. Those who visited were pleased to see prints of their contributions on the walls and talked about which of the photographs were their favourites. The group remembered that they had enjoyed the workshop and also enjoyed visiting the School of Art building.
