About Us
Established in 2017, Radiate Arts is an inclusive, not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to fostering creativity, community wellbeing, and social inclusion. Based in Chester and Mid-Wales, Radiate Arts provides marginalized and underrepresented groups with access to meaningful creative experiences and since its inception, has been committed to supporting diverse communities, including LGBTQ+ individuals, armed forces veterans, families affected by domestic abuse, people recovering from addiction, and people experiencing mental health challenges.

We work extensively with isolated older adults, disabled people, and young people managing anxiety and depression. This wide scope of engagement reflects Radiate Arts' mission to use creativity as a tool for healing, connection, and self-expression. We are committed to using creativity to engage diverse communities, break down barriers to participation, and celebrate the creativity and cultural heritage of the people and areas that we serve. 
We partner with a broad range of stakeholders, including schools, universities, libraries, charities, and local councils, building a network of collaborations that amplify the positive outcomes of our work throughout our communities.   
Mission
Radiate Art’s primary impact is to create opportunities for local community groups to connect with each other in an inclusive and safe setting free from financial barriers. This empowerment accentuates values of collaboration,   embracing diversity, equity, and learning. Our experience shows the continued positive benefits of artistic expression in those we work with, including improved mental health and wellbeing, reduced isolation, challenging norms in society and creating lasting, meaningful change to their quality of life.
