Art for wellbeing. Art for access. Art for connection.
UPCOMING EVENT
OUR MISSION
We are a registering charity, founded in 2023, that uses art to support wellbeing, inclusion, and access through community workshops and public exhibitions. Funds raised from public events such as our exhibitions go towards fulfilling our aims below.
Creative workshops for wellbeing
We provide free accessible, community-based workshops designed to support emotional wellbeing, confidence, and self-expression for vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.
Removing barriers to opportunities
We offer practical support, resources, and equipment where needed, helping people take part in creative, educational, and wellbeing activities.
Public Exhibitions & Education
We make visual art more accessible through exhibitions, talks, workshops, and partnerships with schools and local communities.
Since starting we have supported Bharathy Girls’ Development Centre in Sri Lanka and The Cotton Tree Trust in London. To find out more about our partnerships click the buttons.
