There are lots of ways to work with Art with Heart. One week we’ll be off to a local theatre to share some training with local artists and the next you’ll find us dancing with a women’s group in Rochdale, with a stop on the way to deliver a series of equalities workshops for schools. We believe in engaging with communities on equal-footing, giving the people we work with the agency to create, inspire and collaborate.
