We support artists in the community

We provide educational services

Our Chapel Arts Educational Project Residency (EPR) puts artists in schools as part of a 6 month artists residency for post-graduates. The EPR is registered with the national Arts Mark and Arts Award scheme so both participating schools and students benefit from a national arts accreditation.
