Our core beliefs

Art can be extremely therapeutic and has been shown to help with depression and anxiety, as well as helping to alleviate the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Mental well-being is so very important, and we believe that everyone should have easy access to art therapy.

The society also believes in making art as inclusive and accessible as possible. We aim to offer paid residencies to artists, host art workshops at schools, colleges and universities as well as providing bursaries and grants to recent graduates to help kick-start their art careers.
