Rig Arts

General information

RIG Arts is a socially engaged arts charity that brings professional artists and the community together in a collaborative and creative way using art, film, media and animation.

We create and deliver a dynamic programme of visual arts, film & media projects, workshops, lessons, training events and exhibitions. We are also involved in urban regeneration.

We engage people through cultural activities and heritage; enhancing their lives, developing new skills, and encouraging citizenship, community development and education.

The positive development of young people is our priority using creativity and innovation as tools that enable all children from very different circumstances and abilities to explore and express themselves building confidence, self esteem and widening their outlook to encourage them on a path of engaged learning, further education, training or employment.
