At Sarah Barker Art Studios CIC, opportunity isn’t an add-on — it’s the heart of everything we do.
We believe everyone deserves the chance to explore creativity, build confidence, develop skills, feel valued and be part of a community that sees their potential.
No matter your age, ability, background or experience, there is a place for you here.
We create fully inclusive, low-cost creative sessions where children can explore art, movement and imagination without pressure or judgement.
Families tell us they love that their children feel accepted, supported and free to be themselves.
We offer:

Partners can:
We’re always interested in new partnerships that share our values.
Because I, Sarah, grew up in a world where opportunities were limited by disability, not ability.
Everything we do now is shaped by the belief that no one should be excluded from creativity, community or belonging.
Art changed my life — and our CIC exists to make sure others get the same chance.
Opportunity isn’t a box to tick.
It’s a promise.
And we’re proud to keep it.
We’d love to welcome you — as a participant, volunteer, partner or supporter.
