Who We Are
First and last we are an arts organisation. We work in community settings, whether these be geographical or communities of people with shared experiences or personal situations.
We have twelve artists all of whom are experienced facilitators as well as being high quality arts and creative practitioners. We develop bespoke programmes of work in cooperation with an individual community often collaborating with a partner such as Leeds Libraries & Information Services, Leeds Museums & Galleries and Leeds International Piano Competition.
We are part of the Leeds City Council’s funded arts portfolio through arts@leeds and secure 95% of our annual income through project fundraising and generating unrestricted income. We secure investment for our programmes of work through major funders such as Heritage Lottery Fund, Awards for All, The Big Lottery & Esmee Fairbairn and support funders such as Wade’s Charity, Trusthouse Charitable Foundation, Charles Brotherton Trust & Greggs Foundation.
