The Ark-T Collective is a growing group of creative people who believe creativity can support wellbeing, bring people together, and strengthen communities. Since launching in 2025, the Collective has delivered a wide range of inspiring workshops across our Welcome Space, creative wellbeing programmes for young people, Community Lunches, and special one off workshops events — embedding creative and cultural experiences locally, ensuring they are accessible, inclusive, and relevant for people for everyone to engage with.
Our Collective helps Ark-T offer varied, inclusive, and high-quality workshops both within our core programmes and through external partnerships that generate income for the charity, which is vital for our continued charitable activities. From one-off sessions with our regular groups to exhibitions, festivals, and community-based projects, Collective artists bring bold ideas and compassionate practice into the heart of the community.
Ark-T Collective artists come from a wide range of disciplines and backgrounds, united by a shared commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and community-led practice. Their work helps us reach people where they are — creating spaces where creativity can uplift, empower, and connect people.
