Creativity in a Time of Covid
Young people from Inspire Youth Arts talk about how being able to access the arts 'virtually' during the Covid-19 Pandemic benefitted their health and wellbeing.
"Talent is everywhere. Opportunity is not."
We are leaders in music, dance and digital arts
We are Imagineers!
We believe that everyone has the right to access high quality arts experiences.
We use authentic, innovative & accessible arts projects to take children, young and disabled people as far as they want to go creatively.
Our vision is that all children, young and disabled people are empowered to access life-changing arts experiences
Here's what we do:
- Deliver a programme of around 50 weekly projects across the country
- Run over 40 events and festivals throughout the year
- Run an extensive school holiday programme
- Host a series of professional theatre, shows and music gigs
- Offer commercial and community recording sessions
- Offer a range of work experience opportunities and placements
And here's how we do it!
We create impact through the application of deeply-held, shared Core Values that are:
- Deeply held and upheld
- Based on a vision that “all children, young and disabled people are empowered to access life-changing arts experiences”
- Validated by being recognised as representative of best practice and consistent with Positive Psychology models such as PERMA (Seligman, 1989) and Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, 1943)
- Consistent with models of Leadership, such as Kouzes and Posner (1987-present)
We succeed because the shared values are immutable and challenging, leading to goals that are beyond what one might believe to be possible.
