Art by Post: Of Home and Hope

Of Home and Hope was our first Art by Post project. It launched in May 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, to provide free creative activities to people across the UK who were at risk of social isolation, loneliness and digital exclusion.

The project commissioned 17 artists to make 11 activity booklets that were sent to over 4,500 participants with the help of numerous referral partners. More than 600 poems, drawings, paintings and mixed media works were posted back to us in response, and many were later documented in an online and a physical touring exhibition, as well as on film.
