Connected Through Art Communit Interest Company
"We exist because getting noticed is hard and simply being yourself can feel hardest of all. We know this from lived experience, not from a distance. Connected Through Art CIC was not an accident — we found ourselves here because we needed to be. We cannot promise to help everyone, but if you feel the pull of creativity, if you have something to say and nowhere to say it, if you recognise yourself in these words — then this space was built with you in mind. We exist to try, and sometimes trying together is where it all begins."
Why we exist
We provide inclusive, accessible arts activities for disabled artists and disabled people of all ages, and for those who are too often excluded from mainstream creative life. Through workshops, open studio sessions, collaborative projects and community exhibitions, we create spaces where everyone can make, connect and belong — including older people and those experiencing isolation.
