Welcome to AccessArt: Arts and Wellbeing
In a fast-paced society, filled with deadlines and stress, it’s important to slow down, observe and enjoy singular moments in time. Creativity can help to ground us in the present, feel joy in inconsequential acts and create space in the day for reflection.
With this in mind, we have created a collection of resources which focus on calm, creative processes. These resources vary from quick 5 minute exercises to hour long sessions, perfect for quiet contemplation or community engagement.
Have fun exploring AccessArt resources focused around arts and wellbeing.
audiences and settings
Art can be used to support the well-being of everyone; however, you may find that some learners or settings benefit from a more consistent focus on well-being within their learning experience.

creative entitlement and wellbeing
For the past twenty-five years, AccessArt has collaborated with young people through various projects, school initiatives, and workshop sessions.
At the heart of everything we do is a belief in the right of every individual to express themselves creatively, and a recognition that creativity lives within all of us.

AccessArt Treehouse
AccessArt believes that through gentle, holistic art education, we can empower children and young people to find their voice.
At AccessArt Treehouse, we recognise that mainstream schooling does not suit every child or young person. Whether it is a positive, long-term decision to home educate, or a more reactive, short-term decision made out of necessity, we understand that pupils outside the formal education system are still entitled to an excellent art education.
