If you catch their imaginations, you can change their lives
“It's inspiring to see how art becomes a powerful tool for children coming from difficult backgrounds, who have so much potential but no access to creative education. Seeing how a simple act of drawing on paper without fear, can create so much confidence in a child is magical."
Anarya
Programmes Manager
"It is powerful to witness that Artreach is bringing art education, methodologies and various practices to those who otherwise have little to no access. The response of the participants is equally magical as it becomes a way of healing and connecting with the world around us."
Arti
Director
"I watched children’s faces light up with joy as they played with colour. Hard lives - they were homeless, living at the railway station - but here, now, absorbed in the creative moment they were children again. So I set up Artreach, to catch imaginations, to change lives."

Kanti
Office Manager
"I am glad to be a part of Artreach to guide children who are living in difficult circumstances. Artreach is establishing a creative and therapeutic platform for these lovely kids. It is an enriching and joyful experience for me to teach these special students."
Reshma
Programmes Officer
"Art is a powerful tool. it enhances cognitive development, improves emotional well-being, and encourages social skills. Through workshops, children not only discover their artistic talents but also build lasting friendships and a sense of community.
Being part of the team is fun and it's amazing to see how people evolve their art skills in workshops."
Sameer
Intern
“Art can give us a safe outlet for expressing ourselves and our emotions. Artreach creates that safe space by focusing on the process and not the rules of art! It is so satisfying to see children and young people explore and experiment in this environment and find their unique voices."
Shivangi
Teaching Programmes Head
"The engagement and connection with the kids at Artreach has been a beautiful and touching one. It has taught me even more than I could give as a teacher- a pedagogy of love, warmth and laughter."
Sonam
Apprenticeships, Internships & Mentorships Manager
"As the winds of curiosity freely blow, individuals can express their interests and skills over time. I believe Artreach provides a safe space for creative engagement. For me, it's always inspiring to facilitate learning through multimedia languages, with a focus on interpersonal creative development in a co-learning process."
