Arlington House – Emma

Artist, commercials director and one-time Diesel creative director Brian Baderman has been using a painting studio at Arlington (via the arts charity SPACE) for several years and last year he decided to try and collaborate with the hostel on a creative project. The result is EMMA, a magazine that features artwork, stories and poems by Arlington residents. Baderman says that it was his “casual encounters with residents revealed all had stories to tell.
“The Wednesday EMMA sessions held at Arlington House provide a safe and friendly, supportive space in which to paint, draw, write and just chat,” says Baderman. “They also give people an opportunity to socialise, critique, share suggestions, and get help on how to improve both their use of materials and language – as well as be introduced to new ideas.”
