About Everybody Arts:Everybody Arts is an innovative arts organisation based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. We're based in a grade II listed textile mill, where you will find our art school with extensive creative production facilities and equipment, our gallery where creative practices and processes are shared and showcased as well as our artist studios, where 20 artists and creative practitioners make their work. Everybody Arts is a charity so we don't work for profit, and the income we generate is used to support the communities we are established to serve.

At the heart of Everybody Arts is a deep-rooted commitment to community, creativity and wellbeing. We embrace a holistic approach that recognizes the intrinsic value of artistic expression and creative engagement. We foster an environment that enables people to exercise their creativity and values empathy, joy and collaboration, where people can explore their full potential, discover new perspectives, and develop resilience. We are here to help develop artists, no matter where they are starting from, and where they are going, and whatever their background.
