Impact Arts are a community arts organisation committed to involving people of all ages and abilities in projects and events, which are innovative and exciting arts-based activities.
We work in partnership with a variety of community groups to develop projects which are relevant to them. Our strength lies in helping our partners to generate ideas and in developing and delivering activities in response to individual requirements.
We have worked within many different settings including village halls, schools and colleges, residential homes, parks, town centres, museums, community centres, youth clubs and in a field!

Making bottlekilns
Impact Arts have a core team of three artists with a larger network of freelance artists who can be called upon to deliver specific skills for larger projects: specialist musician; choreographer; stage director.
Each member undertakes work as an individual in specialist areas under the umbrella of Impact Arts.
Impact Arts aim to:
create opportunities for people of all ages to experience the "arts";
enable individuals to learn new skills and realise their artistic and personal potential;
develop projects and activities, which are accessible to all or targeted at certain sections of the community.
