Community Arts Lab
Harness the power of art to build bridges and bring people together.
Art can be transformative, sparking hope and imagination and taking people on journeys of discovery and change. High-quality arts programmes can connect people in unexpected ways, building resilience, restoring dignity and creating a sense of identity and purpose.
They can provide safe spaces for individuals to be themselves and to believe in a positive future, especially in times of crisis and conflict. Only when people achieve their full potential will they be able to contribute meaningfully to society and be part of the social change the world needs.
What we do
The team at Community Arts Lab wants to harness the power of art to build bridges and bring people together. We believe that solving the world's problems takes ensembles, not soloists. We work with a diverse range of partners, including artists, educators, prestigious institutions, grassroots organisations and strategic influencers to bring communities together.
One of our most important roles is to foster the value of art as a tool to empower communities and bring about meaningful social change. We work across borders and in collaboration with other hubs and portfolios, aiming to design, build and grow a global system to enable the development of more just and inclusive societies.
Where we work
We prioritise our work with our partners in Argentina, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Jordan, the Netherlands, North America, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Kenya, South Africa, and Spain.
Community Arts Network
Our partner Community Arts Network (CAN) is a platform which aims to enable, engage, and empower people through arts - be they individuals, organisations or whole communities. CAN achieves this by providing resources and toolkits for enhancing arts’ impact, measurement, and promotion, as well as providing members with access to a network of like-minded organisations and individuals for collaborations.
