ART BEYOND BELIEF

Art Beyond Belief works to challenge preconceptions, especially with regard to faith, health, diversity and social disadvantage. We aim to empower people to be more self-confident, make better decisions, and take control of their lives and futures. We do this through the development and delivery of innovative and inspirational computer and arts-based projects, and through training.
