About Art for All
Art for All is a community group that offers varied creative classes to adults with a mental health condition who live in Cheltenham and the surrounding areas. Our Art sessions are held at Gas Green youth and community centre in Cheltenham. Our aim is to help people achieve sustained wellbeing through the practice of being creative.
What do we offer
At Art For All we offer safe and inclusive art sessions to adults with a mental health condition. No experience is needed, all abilities are welcome. We offer 8 classes a week. You can expect a warm welcome in a relaxed environment with other people who have the shared experience of living with a mental health condition.
"I have been a member of Art For All for 15 years. I use art as a way of relaxing and managing my mental health in a peaceful environment. I have many friends in the group, we encourage each other to improve our artistic abilities and support each other in what we do. Being a long term member of Art For All has without doubt had a positive impact on my managing my ongoing mental health diagnosis."
"When I joined AFA I found it was a group of warm, welcoming and friendly people united in making art together. Everyone has their own problems but the atmosphere is one of community and support. The printmaking class has become a regular part of my week and helps me manage my mental health illness."
"Being part of Art for All has played a significant role in my mental health recovery. It has been wonderful to engage in making art for two hours every week. The time and space given to each individual to make their own artwork and pursue their own artistic goals is, for me, what makes AFA so special and continues to be a key aspect in my journey towards recovery."
