Arts Lab is a social enterprise that uses visual art to promote and encourage creative thinking and doing in every aspect of people’s lives

Make it, look at it, share it, talk about it, this ‘magical stuff’ called art can take your mind off things, connect you with others and help you to stay playful and confident to make positive changes in your life. It can also get you thinking in different ways, so you stay open to a life of learning and curiosity and build purpose into what’s absolutely right for you and the world you want to live in. 

Picture yourself having the freedom to use your hands, create something beautiful, explore, express and make a mess, share conversation and ideas with new people and build new approaches to thinking, doing and being. This is Arts Lab.

We connect artists with communities, making art accessible to everyone everywhere by providing:

• support for ‘artist changemakers’ to develop new, mutually beneficial ways of connecting with audiences
• hands-on creative making activities and projects across communities
• a platform to view, share and buy beautfiul artwork through our online galleries, social media, shop and pop-up venues
• inspiring stories about people and organisations we’ve worked with on our online platforms and in our growing collection of catalogues and zines (available at our online shop) 
• an innovative online presence that keeps artists and communities making art and making change
