Testimonials.

The work that Dean Stalham does is invaluable – he brings to animating the
artistic impulses of society’s dispossessed and downtrodden a rare
sympathy, and precisely because he’s been where they have no condecension.
he believes passionately in the role art in saving lives – hence the name
of his charity – and he makes good on this promise. His projects in the
visual art, in performance and in education give people who have lost
their way back their dignity, and enable them to move forward. He is
energetic, tireless and in my experience highly competent. I urge you to
seriosuly consider all he has to say, and to work to assist him. WILL SELF
I found Mark Prince to be not only inspirational but also innovative where he
jointly worked with another speaker (unplanned) to deliver a very powerful and relevant message
to the young people. JANET LEWIS, UBUNTU

We believe that the art world is made up of two circles, an inner and an outer. The inner circle being the more privileged. This divide needs to come down as there are more of us looking in than there are looking out. We need to start sharing.

the legendary Free Wheelers disabled theatre company!

Art Saves lives produces films, theatrical pieces, art exhibitions, courses, poetry readings and musical events. We never charge to get into any of our events because if one person can not afford the price of an entry ticket then we are not doing what we set out to do, which is to make great art accessible to all.

Alter Ego street dance group!

Please feel free to have a look through our website. See some of the amazing events that we have put on and have been part of. We do more than fully funded organisations.

Two eleven year old songstresses!

Art Saves Lives receives no government funding or backing and is run entirely on a volunteer workforce.

We have applied for help on many occasions but have been consistently turned down.

Please feel free to contact us if you need our help; unlike many, many organisations who purport to be of a similar ilk- we guarantee to get back to you and will help in any way that we can.
