Artburst
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. Artburst is Makaton approved – so you can have fun with signing as well as singing, movement and art. Artburst runs children’s parties, festival events and offer consultation for museums and other settings.
Artburst has a very hard working small core team and receive minimal core funding. At times this can be a challenge but we love what we do and think it’s important so if you can, please give us a helping hand.

We have had fantastic feedback from school staff, parents and children about how much they have enjoyed and gained from the transition groups. These groups give children with SLCN a real boost in confidence at a time when they really need it. I think it really offers a fresh approach to how we support children.Stephen Parsons
All the staff are fab. Can you all come round to my house and teach signs to me and my family please!Parent
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
