“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."

"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."

"Art is a powerful tool that allows one to express that which cannot be put to words. Artreach is enabling children to learn the process of exploring, experimenting and creating."

“I greatly enjoy the drive that brings together creative methods, artists from across the world and grounded social change at Artreach."

"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."

“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."

"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."

"Artreach’s work with young persons is not just about colour and textures and techniques; it’s gentle lessons in managing and expressing emotions. It’s about confidence & joy."
