    ARTS BRIDGE CHARITY 

    Arts Bridge Charity uses the Arts as a bridge to learning. Our work in local communities empowers participants by introducing them to art forms, making the arts accessible and encouraging them to take ownership of their creativity through practical and analytical exploration. Giving them the tools to create their own work and/or develop an informed appreciation of the arts.
