Lon-art

Lon-art opens a window onto art, culture and languages through education workshops and community events. Our vision is to improve the accessibility of creativity, culture and learning for everybody through the arts. Our mission is to provide a platform for communities, artists and educators to collaborate, reflect and create. First established in 2... 010, Lon-art's team and activities have been growing steadily over the past five years. 2014 was our busiest yet, with twenty projects undertaken in eight different venues, reaching approximately 500 London residents. We collaborated with organisations including Centrepoint, Oxford House in Bethnal Green, Idea Store (Watney Market and Whitechapel), Spitalfields Housing Association and Up Your Street (an East London women's group), and with each we have built a continuing relationship, leading to other projects. In 2014, Lon-art also acted as a platform for twenty-two artists to exhibit their work, with ten of these artists given the opportunity to design and lead workshops for community groups. Lon-art's core team of eight have broad experience in education (Modern Languages, IT and Art & Design), the art world, social work, marketing and events, translation and the charity sector.Read More
