Sage and Salt Studio

African Activities CIC offers the opportunity to engage with a diverse range of Black and African cultures through superb, creative artistic experiences. Our work disrupts preconceptions, creates community, drives excellence and breaks barriers. Rooted in pre-colonial traditions, our workshops include drumming, dance, storytelling, Adinkra, beadwork, and mask-making. Led by culturally grounded artists, we bring living heritage to life across schools, communities and festivals. Based in the New Forest, we are a leading Black-led organisation championing African arts across Hampshire and beyond.

At the University of Winchester, we believe in the transformative power of culture and creativity. As a local anchor institution, we are dedicated to building a thriving and dynamic community where art, celebration of our heritage, and innovation flourish. Collaboration is the key to creating meaningful societal, civic, and community-based benefits. By embedding ourselves with our local community and businesses, we aim to facilitate opportunities for mutual growth and innovation. By supporting local organisations and businesses, attracting talented individuals, and enriching the lives of our students, staff and residents, we are confident that we can help make our region flourish.

Chapel Arts Studios (CAS) is a socially engaged contemporary visual arts charity based in Andover, Hampshire. We are one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations (NPO). We believe that in a disconnected community with lack of access to cultural opportunities for all, we create a home of connections and possibilities through art. By being part of the cultural transformation of Andover and championing inclusion and creative potential in the wider region, we inspire our communities and nurture creatives,  transforming lives. We are home to a network of associate artists, of all ages and career stages.
