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.

We organise arts events

We provide arts events to help enrich the quality of life in Test Valley and also to raise awareness and enthusiasm for arts activities. We aim to deliver a variety of opportunities for creative experimentation, cultural experiences, creative expression, and arts education.

We help individual artists
