Art that connects people and inspires action for social change

Arts Lab uses visual art to bring people together across difference and explore creative ways to tackle conflict, inequality, and climate change.

Through workshops, events, exhibitions, and artist residencies, we champion art and culture as a force for good — supporting people to make a positive difference in their own lives and in their communities.

We connect socially engaged artists with activists and changemakers across education, climate action, community health, development, criminal justice, and peacebuilding.

Why art? Why now?

In a world facing deepening divisions, climate crisis and rapid social change, new ways of working together are urgently needed.

Building peace – like making art – takes head, heart, hands, and eyes working together
