Halifax
We are ‘The Everybody School of Art’, a place where the opportunity to
experience the benefits of art and understand its value is available to all,
regardless of age, ability, background, or circumstance. We champion art and
creativity in everyday life and think that opportunity and engagement with art
can make things better for everyone. Our time, space and resources are dedicated
to supporting artistic development and community imagination, as such we are
home to a thriving creative community where everyone is welcome. Our work takes
place at our venue, a grade II listed textile mill in Halifax. Here you will
find our art school with extensive creative production facilities and equipment,
our gallery where creative practices and processes are shared and showcased as
well as our artist studios, where 20 artists and creative practitioners make
their work. Our work also takes place out in the community at schools and
community venues, online and in peoples homes. Artworks is a community interest
company so we don't work for profit. The income we generate is used to support
the communities we are established to serve. Thanks to our funding partners and
supporters we are able to make many of our activities free. Where we don’t
receive any subsidy we make sure that access is affordable while always paying
artists a fair rate.
