The Art Ministry was founded in 1992 by Reverend Angela Cotton. In 2004
The Art Ministry became a registered charity governed by a board of trustees
according to a declaration of trust.
The Art Ministry believes that creative activity is important to the well-being
of people in general and especially to those less able or disadvantaged.
We run clubs, classes and projects in arts and crafts to bring out the
creativity in people.
The objectives of The Art Ministry are:
To provide a safe
environment and facilities in a wide variety of arts and crafts and other art
forms for all of the community and to encourage creativity and therapy through
art forms.
To
bring widely disparate members of the community together through the common
language of art, with a bias to the minorities, excluded and disaffected groups
or individuals.
To work with schools, colleges, churches, local authorities, disabled,
disadvantaged groups or individuals in the local community.
To encourage and organise projects, workshops and public
displays which include exploration of spiritual, moral, philosophical,
historical and sociological topics and to celebrate the wider life of the
community including services of Christian worship
The Trustees of The Art Ministry are:
Allan Webb - Chair
Gwyneth Smallbone – Secretary
Reverend Jack Roche – Safety Officer
Betty McCarthy – Treasurer
