We want to help artists discover their tribe and flourish.
We’re a London based not-for-profit organisation supporting artists & creatives that explore health, wellbeing, and what it means to be human in their practice.
The Hub is artist led and primarily for artists, although we welcome people from other backgrounds such as health and care professionals. We are inclusive. Our organisation is open to artists from all backgrounds, communities, experiences and qualifications.
Whilst we’re London based we also work online and with partner organisations to support artists across the UK.
The Arts & Health Hub is a registered community interest company, working for the benefit of the arts, health and culture sector.
Note: We’re a project funded organisation that has no salaried staff. We work as freelancers, with freelancers. Sometimes we have free services that we have fundraised for. Otherwise we charge for our services because we believe in valuing people’s time and knowledge and have business costs and fees that people must receive for their work.
