“Art with purpose. Creativity with conscience.”

We are proud to announce the launch of our new Friend’s Membership Scheme, a member-led initiative designed to bring the benefits of art and design to more communities and individuals, while offering meaningful rewards for supporters.

This is more than a membership, this is a conscious opportunity to be part of a wider art movement to ensure creativity remains accessible to all. The scheme invites people to become regular supporters of Art4Space’s mission: promoting mental health, holistic wellness, social justice and positive change through creative education. Members will help extend access to safe and creative spaces where stories are shared, voices are valued and connections are made. 

Julie Norburn says “The funding crisis in the arts is deeply concerning – it’s silencing vital stories and stifling essential ideas. Creativity and joy should never be luxuries reserved for the few, yet that’s the reality we’re facing.”

“More than ever, we must stand together, support each other and create opportunities for the next generation of artists and facilitators. That’s why joining the Friends of Art4Space matters.”

In 2024, we welcomed over 1,200 participants per month with 95% of them stating that they saw an improvement in their mental health and well-being. By joining the membership programme, supporters will help ensure creativity remains accessible to all. Members to the scheme are invited to explore the opportunity to join one of three tiered schemes from bronze, silver to gold that include:

• Monthly creative exercises delivered by the experienced art teams
• Creative wellbeing newsletters – with interesting content and articles 
• 10% discount at the Art4Space shop
• Discounts on Art4Space art classes and workshops
• An annual members event
• Art4Space exclusive designed products like a Kintsugi Tote Bag at the Art4Space Comuni-tea tin*

Art4Space’s Friend’s Membership Scheme is part of its 2025–2026 strategy to build a stronger, more inclusive arts community.
