About Us

Elevator Arts was set up in February 2020 to deliver arts projects that effect social change & improve young people’s lives in Southend & South Essex.

We work with communities experiencing disadvantage & multiple barriers to learning & inclusion.

We create young people & community centred projects with those most in need & least access to arts activity. 

Our creative projects are tailored to support young people’s mental health & wellbeing, improve life skills & learning.

“High quality arts engagement, a flexible approach, genuine outreach to vulnerable children and young people”
