Wac Arts
A charity that has been driven by the needs of young people and the community. Wac Arts lifts generation after generation of young people, empowering them with the life skills that only the arts can offer. We have a commitment to those who face barriers to opportunity, using the infinite power of the arts to unleash the extraordinary potential of young people. “Wac Arts means an expanded life. A better life. A chance to open up with likeminded people and grow as a person. That’s what I felt in the eleven years I’ve been here” John Gaine, Senior Wac Arts student and Wac Arts Ambassasor Wac Arts offers fully inclusive programmes that celebrate diversity, with classes significantly subsidised to make them accessible to all young people aged 4-30. Providing weekend, evening and holiday programmes as well as a unique full time professional training course and a vibrant disability and inclusion programme, Wac Arts is rock solid in support of empowering young people to change their worlds through the arts. Wac Arts is based in the Old Town Hall, Belsize Park, in the borough of Camden, North London. Wac Arts is a creative hub where young people build confidence, artists connect, and other arts and cultural organisations thrive. Sharing our home with a variety of Building Partners allows for boundless collaboration, creativity and opportunity for our young people and the community. Our home reflects the diversity of our world and celebrates our heritage of performance and participation. Our community is bound by people who will stop at nothing to inspire young people through lifelong learning and the arts.
