St Barbe Museum + Art Gallery

We are a Community Interest Company producing creative wellbeing projects for young people, because we know that life can get messy. This includes one-off projects, ongoing collaborations and commissions with arts, youth and health partners, mentoring for over 16s, and weekly dance and sensory play classes for under 5s and their grown-ups. We raise funds to deliver specialist projects which support young people living with adverse childhood experiences, and to reduce social isolation for Parents/Carers supporting vulnerable young people. We work collaboratively with other sectors so that work can continue to support young people through the arts after our projects have finished. We work across Dorset and Hampshire. Please get in touch!

We’re The Spring – a cross-artform and heritage organisation that brings people together to be inspired, get creative and try something new. We believe that arts, culture and heritage have the power to change lives, and we’re here to help make that happen. Our hub, for creativity, learning and cultural opportunities for the community and beyond, is based in Havant Town and home to a 145 seater studio theatre, museum collection, workshop spaces and art studio. We also have key focuses on Creative Wellbeing, Place-making, Children and Young People and Opening Up of the Creative Industries.

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.
