After a 5 year hiatus, LifewithArt is delighted to be back working in Southwark, London again. Our new Charity Art Centre at 219-299 Borough High Street opened in November last year and the fun is well and truly underway! Our art workshop area can be found on the 1st floor where clients from Cool It Art have been enjoying a series of visual art workshops including gelli printing, ceramics and painting. Cool It Art is a social enterprise set up to provide free artistic opportunities in and around Lambeth. Like LifewithArt, Cool It Art want to spread the benefits that art and the creative process bring to as many people as possible.

“I really enjoyed running the combined music and art workshop alongside Robbie. I was really buzzing when one of the attendees said the music inspired a painting of a bike ride she had taken with her brother when they were small.” Adam, LwA Tutor

“I’ve enjoyed this class a lot. I’ve learnt a lot as I’ve never been familiar with gelli printing until now. The instructions were simple and clear. Flora has been extremely supportive, welcoming, knowledgeable and full of enthusiasm” Regina, Cool It Art

Our music workshop area can be found on the 4th floor where clients from Southwark Wellbeing Hub have been enjoying making music with LifewithArt tutors Robbie and Charlie. Southwark Wellbeing Hub provide information and support to anyone in Southwark who would like to improve their mental health and wellbeing. It is always a joy to be able to provide music workshops as we know they really lift the spirits! Across the 5th floor and around the workshop areas, you can find our photographic exhibitions on display. The LifewithArt exhibition showcases the incredible artwork produced by members of the public who have attended our art workshops around the country. The exhibitions are open to the public and completely free of charge to visit.
