We Invite You To Help Support Our Art School With A Small Monthly Donation

For the price of just two coffees per month you can help us make a big difference

Our aim is simply to reach out to poorer communities and teach them life changing skills in drawing and painting.

Many young people are living in poverty and art is something that can really help create a more positive outlook.

Art skills increase confidence which in so many ways can make a big change to a community and a young persons life.

Your monthly donation will help us fund both on location courses such as the one above within a redwood forest and in studio courses as seen below.

We initially focus on the basic principles of drawing in charcoal before moving to paint but it's amazing how quickly you learn when a skilled artist and tutor shows you how it's done and why.

You can donate from as little as £5 per month by using the form below.
