We want to help artists discover their tribe and flourish.
We’re a London based not-for-profit organisation that supports artists and cultural producers exploring arts & health in their practice.
The Hub is artist led and primarily for artists, although we welcome people from other backgrounds such as health and care professionals. We are inclusive. Our organisation is open to artists from all backgrounds, communities, experiences and qualifications.
Whilst we’re London based we also work online and with partner organisations to support artists across the UK.

What we Provide.
We produce a range of arts and cultural events, including workshops, exhibitions and a number of professional and personal development workshops and socials. From skill sharing events to get togethers or shows, we bring people together to build connections and community. Find out more.
Peer Support.
Online and in-person events for artists to share active works, ideas or challenges they face in arts & health. Each artist receives peer-to-peer support from the group, offering support and advice from our hive mind. Find out more.
Training.
Our training supports organisations that work with artists in the arts and health sector to build healthy and positive relationships that enable artists to flourish and feel supported in the work that they do. Our Groundwork training helps you lay the foundations of how you work with and support your artist workforce. Find out more.
Online Community.
A place to connect with other artists, share works and challenges, discover resources, or just check-in with others in the sector. We use Slack, a team communication tool. It's free to join. Find out more.
Our Impact.
The Hub was founded by artist Daniel Regan and was born out of a need to connect with likeminded artists. Since 2015 we have directly supported artists and cultural producers to crystallise creative visions, troubleshoot sector problems, commission new works and provide practical and emotional support.
The Arts & Health Hub is a registered community interest company, working for the benefit of the arts, health and culture sector.
Since 2015 we have:
Supported over 1000 artists
Provided peer to peer support for 200 artists through our artist peer groups
Commissioned over 80 artists to deliver workshops, events & exhibitions with us
Hosted over 6000 attendees across our events
“I felt hugely welcomed, no matter who I was or what I was doing. The only condition was to be interested, kind, respectful and curious, which are simple and amazing values bringing people together.”
We’re excited to say we’ve been awarded for the Support Hub 2023-25. Read below for more information about our original pilot.
2020-2021: The Support Hub.
Throughout 2020-21 we provided an innovative project called The Support Hub for artists working in the sector.
In response to a survey during the first COVID wave, we secured funding to support the immediate needs of artists in our network.
This project included:
Mental health support for 14 artists with lived experience of mental health difficulties
Providing free clinical supervision for 6 artists working in stressful environments
1-2-1 mentoring for 3 early career artists, matched with experienced artists/producers in the sector
Thank you to our funders Arts Council England and NSUN for generously funding The Support Hub.
