Artburst is a not-for-profit organisation set up in 2006 that has won local and national awards. Artburst sessions increase confidence, communication skills and pride in creative achievements for children and families committed to ensuring the arts are accessible to all.
Artburst delivers workshops for schools, children’s centres, community centres and museums – including the London Transport Museum.

Many of the children that Artburst work with are from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and as an organisation they have a strong belief that the arts should be experienced by everyone. This comes across strongly in their work; children are given access to storybooks, drama experiences and the development of ides that they would not otherwise experience in their normal school day.Vanessa Chadwick
The Artburst workshops were fun, entertaining and geared towards the children’s level. The artist captured the children's interest right from the start and they especially loved listening to the animated stories! The children were engaged in the activities at all times and enjoyed every minute. The children's performances at the end were brilliant and were a fantastic way to show off their pieces of art.Tessa Byrne
