In November 2019, Art Fund and Waltham Forest London Borough of Culture hosted a one-day festival to explore how art can make a difference.

Some of of the UK’s leading arts organisations actively making a difference to communities. You’ll experience their pioneering projects first-hand – from bread-baking that brings people together, to theatre that breaks down barriers, to art addressing mental health, climate change and more.

Audiences were invited to join leading arts organisations from across the UK to take part in talks and workshops, enjoy performances and live podcast recordings, enjoy exhibitions and much more.

Art Assembly included Arts Catalyst, Grizedale Arts, Heart of Glass/the vacuum cleaner, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA) and Synergy Theatre Project.
