Our 20 plus years of community participatory arts practice as individual artists enable us to support participants to create high quality art works while experiencing excellent opportunities for engagement in relevant and useful life skills Since 2014 we have devised and delivered creative interventions to the most disadvantaged community members Our projects help combat social isolation facilitate unique art works creating a lasting and meaningful impact on social cohesion and well being.

This year we celebrate 10 years delivering arts health projects to our communities.

Over the last 10 years, since 2014  we have devised and delivered socially engaged, creative interventions to community members that along with their individual art works have included

A large scale community clock, A full ‘recovery tram’ decal design, Four large scale movie posters, Several large scale graffiti art works, the creation and distribution of our ‘Makezine’, Two ‘Fantasy’ art shops,  A glass chandelier, and a large scale mosaic in Revoe, Blackpool 

In short we have the ability to create unique art works with community members that create a lasting impact while meaningful to people we work with.
