Our Purpose

LW Arts CIC is a collective of creative practitioners who are passionate about connecting people and communities through the arts, creativity and wellbeing.

We create opportunities for children, adults, families and communities to express themselves, take part and feel connected through high-quality arts experiences.

Our growing network of artists and partners shares a warm, inclusive and community-led vision. Together, we deliver creative projects that support wellbeing, confidence, emotional resilience and positive mental health.

Community is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome feedback, ideas and support from the people we work with, helping us to stay responsive, relevant and rooted in the communities we serve.

Our Team and Partners

LW Arts CIC is led by a core team of three creative practitioners, each bringing a wide range of experience, knowledge and care to the development and delivery of our work.

We also work with a growing network of associated artists, facilitators, creative practitioners and other arts organisations, who help shape our projects through planning, consultation, delivery and evaluation.

Over the years, we have been proud to work alongside a wide range of organisations and partners, including:

• BeatFeet Drumming, Dance & Wellbeing Workshops

• Nottingham Music Hub

• The Liz Winwood Foundation

• The Vine Neighbourhood Centre

• The Anna Freud Centre for Children and Families

• Nottingham City Council

• Derby City Council

• Shambala Festival

Alongside many other community, arts, education and wellbeing organisations.

Creative Arts for Wellbeing

Our workshops and events use music, dance, theatre and art to bring people together, support wellbeing and create meaningful shared experiences.

We believe taking part in the arts can have a powerful impact on confidence, connection, emotional expression and positive mental health. Our projects are designed with communities in mind, helping people feel welcomed, valued and part of something.

We are grateful to all the organisations that have supported our work, including Arts Council England, The National Lottery Community Fund, ChallleNGe Nottingham, Inspire Community Arts, Nottinghamshire Community Foundation and many other valued partners.
