Now, more than ever, ‘we need to establish new ways of nourishing the imagination’

Nicholas Serota, Arts Council England – 28th March 2020

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

We connect artists with communities, making art accessible to everyone.

Championing collaboration, play and curiosity, we encourage experimentation and creative thinking.

The result is that we can all feel more connected and valued and inspired to affect positive change in our own and others’ lives.

In response to the current crisis, Arts Lab will be helping to combat levels of isolation and anxiety in some of our most vulnerable communities. Watch this space for upcoming projects

We run a What’s On programme of events and workshops from our home studio in Dartington, UK (have a look to see what’s in the pipeline).

We run projects in the community across education, ciminal justice, youth and health services.

We support artists to develop their practices in new, exciting ways that connect with communities.

We share inspiring case studies and stories of people and organisations we have worked with.

 We make and sell affordable art for the home and the workplace (online shop coming soon!)

Our vision is of a society that values art and the human need for connection and purpose through creative expression, experimentation and collaborative making
