Artlink Central Ltd

About

Artlink Central brings artists together with people experiencing exclusion, disability or disadvantage. Our mission and artistic vision is to explore the creative potential of socially engaged arts practice in public and sited spaces. Established in 1988, Artlink Central works with evidence-based practice across all artforms. We produce artist-led participatory programmes that support people with disabilities, people experiencing mental health issues or from excluded communities. We create innovative and accessible opportunities and experiences for people and communities who face complex issues. using the arts to remove social, physical and attitudinal barriers to participation in society. We work within hospitals, schools, prisons, day centres and community-based settings, as well as in the public realm. We work across art forms, collaborating closely with artists, statutory and voluntary sector agencies and with people accessing our artistic programmes.
