GIVE TO GET

In our society, we move at the pace of our slowest member. With our impact focused art programs, we spark positive change and encourage progress towards a more inclusive community. We champion inclusivity, diverse voices, and the well-being of everyone in our society.

Plug into our programs and give back to the community that has supported you. By giving back, you open the door to growth and exposure in your own artistic journey. Donate a small amount of your time to teach your artistic craft to others in the community while simultaneously gaining access to a large network of collectors, corporates, philanthropists, creatives, industry leaders, and more.

Our impact programs

Crisis works with over 9,000 homeless individuals per year across the UK and has been recognised by the British Government as a global leader in addressing homelessness. They have achieved remarkable success in providing support and solutions for those experiencing homelessness. Crisis believes that leveraging the power of the arts could significantly enhance the effectiveness of their programs. Therefore, they have partnered with The Art Equation to incorporate artistic interventions into their initiatives.

The Art Equation facilitates 90 workshops across six London centres, focusing on harnessing the healing power of the arts to foster connection, inspiration, a sense of belonging, community, creativity, and expression. These workshops include visual art classes, music workshops, and dance classes, benefiting over 2,700 participants.

The Young Film Academy (YFA) fervently collaborates with marginalized youth, empowering them to craft poignant film documentaries that illuminate the often-unheard stories of their communities. By furnishing a platform for these marginalized voices, the YFA not only bridges the accessibility chasm within the film industry but also kindles a beacon of hope in the hearts of aspiring young filmmakers.

The Art Equation proudly joins forces with the YFA in the UK and Canada to facilitate 15 workshops annually to equip young individuals with the necessary skills for film production. Additionally, we offer 30 on-set experiences to participants in both locations, providing invaluable practical exposure that prepares them for success in their future journeys within the film industry.
