For over 15 years, our local ceramics charity was a lifeline for our community a hub where people could connect, create, and support one another. This space was vital for a diverse group of individuals, including those who face challenges such as mental or physical health difficulties, learning differences, social isolation, or caregiving responsibilities. When the charity unexpectedly closed, our community was left without a safe, welcoming space and without access to the art that has been so important to our wellbeing.

Out of that loss, Phoenix Rising Arts was born. Our mission is to keep this essential creative community alive and accessible. We aim to provide a welcoming, inclusive space with low cost, flexible pricing so that art remains affordable for everyone.

Through our sessions, we hope to empower our members, many of whom face financial hardship or barriers to participation, by offering opportunities to build skills, boost confidence, improve wellbeing, and even showcase their artwork at local events. Donations help us cover materials, equipment, and running costs, so we can continue providing this safe, creative space for all.
