Art with Heart

We’re Art with Heart, an award-winning Salford based arts company that designs and delivers performances, workshops and people-led creative projects for community groups, arts organisations and schools across the UK. We believe that when people come together through theatre and art, they have the power to make change – and that it’s our responsibility to create accessible, representative spaces where they can give it a try. That change can take place where it's needed: in theatres, classrooms, community centres, libraries, on trams – and even in caravans - using whatever artform fits best: plays, podcasts, workshops, films and exhibitions. We’re changemakers and celebrators, working with people on their terms to collaborate, create and make tangible social action, together. Centred around things that matter to the communities we work with, our work explores mental health, gender equality, sexuality, ageing and familial relationships. All held together by the things that matter to us as an organisation – equality, accessibility and representation. Our work includes the award-winning one-woman show Declaration, which explored Sarah Emmott’s experience of seeking diagnosis for adult ADHD, which received the 'ADHD Foundation Partnership Award' in recognition of our work in raising public awareness. Our award-winning coming of age play Secret Diaries; 100 Deeds, an interactive exhibition addressing gender equality in the 21st century and Stan, a play for children which explores communication, friendship, identity, the family unit… and dinosaurs.
