Collaboration Canvas – ASDA × Li7e Alternative

As part of her Bronze Arts Award, young artist ASDA embraced a unique creative challenge that blended collaboration, courage, and artistic growth. MBN Arts received a half-finished canvas—an expressive, bold piece donated by the artist Li7e Alternative—with an open invitation for one of our young people to continue the work and make it their own. ASDA stepped forward enthusiastically.

Over several sessions, she explored new techniques, experimented with texture and detail, and worked thoughtfully to honour the original artist’s vision while confidently adding her personal voice. The process became a conversation between two artists—one starting the story, the other completing it.

The final piece radiates energy, depth, and character, showcasing ASDA’s dedication and emerging artistic identity. This project not only strengthened her creative skills but also highlighted the power of collaborative art to inspire young people to push boundaries and take pride in their achievements.

We are thrilled to feature this as a standout project in her portfolio—and a testament to the vibrant opportunities made possible through the Arts Award and our partnership with local artists.
