WELCOME TO ARTING AROUND
Empowering young and curious minds through creativity and imagination
Arting Around empowers children and young people by creating spaces where they can think, talk and make art together. Through visual art, dialogue and play, we support creative and critical thinking while nurturing confidence, connection and wellbeing—particularly for those who don’t always thrive in more rigid or structured environments. We want all children and young people to find their voice.
This includes, but is not limited to, children and young people who:
- need additional support with their wellbeing
- have limited access to arts and culture
- feel disconnected or isolated from traditional or highly structured settings
- may be navigating complex circumstances such as SEND or challenging home lives
PROGRAMMES:
Community Projects
One Day Workshops
Artist Residencies
Teacher CPD
Home Schooling programmes
