Arts Active

The Arts Active Trust is an independent charitable trust supporting people to enjoy the arts through its programme of creative, participatory activities based in Cardiff and the surrounding areas.

We deliver a bold programme of creative activities for all our communities across Cardiff and the South Wales region, with particular emphasis on young people and vulnerable underrepresented groups. A key role beyond delivering activity is to support and signpost people to opportunities to engage in creative activities. We see the value in all levels of creative engagement as a driver for both participation and creative production of the arts in Wales, but also the future health and wellbeing of our community as audiences, active supporters, leaders of and stakeholders in this crucial aspect of Welsh identity and cultural life.

Through an inclusive and accessible programme of artistic activities and opportunities that benefit a diverse range of people and communities, we want our work to support a deeper learning, community empowerment, enhanced living, improved wellbeing, extended horizons and improved life outcomes.

We aim to engage our local communities with initiatives and activities that invigorate the imagination and stimulate the soul. Encourage people of all ages, to engage in and enjoy arts activities whilst providing accessible, local, transformative arts-led learning experiences.
