What the charity does

We give the socially excluded the chance to reintegrate through their own talents by providing training, support, exhibiting and publishing opportunities, promoting their art and written work at the highest levels. We provide a bridge between the community arts and professional arts sector in the south east of England whilst challenging the stereotypes of marginalised people.
