About us
Creating spaces for creative learning
Artis is a creative learning charity that enables children to sing, act and dance their curriculum. This experiential way of learning ensures sparks fly in the right direction!
4.3 million children in the UK are growing up in poverty, impacting their mental health and school attendance. Artis has a profound effect on children’s wellbeing by prioritising the arts throughout learning, whilst supporting vital communication skills. Our mission is to nurture creativity in every child, everywhere, and shape a thriving society.
We are the creative learning specialists.
How we work
Artis can be experienced in-person and soon online. Our specialists carefully link their sessions to classroom themes.

Our impact
We are a super-effective charity. Just as investors study the effectiveness of different companies, economists have studied the effectiveness of learning creatively with Artis.
