The Art and Wellbeing programme provides opportunities for those that would otherwise not be able to access and enjoy arts and heritage services to take part in creative and therapeutic workshops.
Our philosophy embodies the notion that art has the power to make you feel good - which is why we are passionate about providing art for everyone. The Art and Wellbeing programme provides free community workshops for those living with dementia and their carers, those affected by mental health issues, those in local care homes and hospices and clients of the nearby York Road Project homeless shelter.
Whether you choose to become a Lightbox Member, attend a fundraising event, visit an exhibition or buy something from our Shop, all proceeds feed back into the charity, which means our Art and Wellbeing programme can thrive.
