Arts Bridge Charity is a BAME-led, arts-based education charity. We engage 'hard-to-reach' communities with the arts – with a particular focus on children and young people from B.A.M.E backgrounds and those from areas of high poverty, as these groups are most at risk of being excluded from participation and appreciation of the arts. Social inclusion is key to the ethos of Arts Bridge Charity.
Arts Bridge create diverse arts-based projects to create change; socially, culturally and to unite communities.
Our vision is a society in which all children and young people have the skills, self-esteem and aspiration to achieve their full potential regardless of their social and economic position, as part of a society in which the arts are highly valued and in which communities are strong and connected.
At Arts Bridge, we want to change what takes place on our stages and screens. We find stories that don’t often get told and we look for new ways of exploring and sharing them. We invite a wide range of people to get involved with the arts.
Our work includes devising and delivering a range of community projects, intergenerational projects, partnering with local schools and teacher training opportunities. We do this in collaboration with artists, young people, community organisations and cultural leaders.
