Our Patron, Sir Quentin Blake KBE
“Over the years I have come to learn the power of drawing and the surprising effect it can have: on morale, judgement, mental health and our general wellbeing. Many people are not aware of this, but Everybody Arts wonderfully does, and is brilliant at putting the knowledge into action for the benefit of everybody. It’s a privilege to be associated with such an energetic and inspiring institution.”

Our partner, South West Yorkshire partnership NHS Foundation Trust, is launching a brand-new mens focused content commission for their app Create and Bloom which brings a wide range of creative wellbeing content right to your fingertips.
Everybody Arts is thrilled to be hosting Art Lab, a peer group for artists and creative practitioners to discuss their work, concurrent ideas and critical thinking.
We’re proud to announce that Creative Care has received the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust Best Partner Excellence Award, recognising the powerful impact of our collaboration with the Creativity and Health Team, the Integrated Change Team, Creative Minds, and our Creative Practitioner team. This honour celebrates our shared commitment to driving meaningful change through creativity.
We’re so excited to share that a brand-new creative wellbeing
programme will soon be coming into bloom!
Our project, recently published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), shows how creative activities like art, music, and writing can make mental health wards safer and more supportive for patients and staff.
Applications are now open for residencies in The Everybody Gallery across the summer of 2025
