Compass Community Arts

Based in Eastbourne, Compass Community Arts is an intergenerational, co-creative, artist led organisation for anyone vulnerable to social isolation, lived trauma, visible and hidden disabilities. Our tried and tested approach recognises that people feel most empowered when given independence, responsibility and are at the ‘giving’ end of care. 12 interdisciplinary artists deliver a weekly program across several sites, free of charge and without any expectation of participants. Our spaces are always safe, supportive and compassionate and provide new direction and skills in people’s lives. The artists’ regularly work together to put on exhibitions, events and self-publish under the name, Compass Collective. The Collective was formed in response to participants who identify as an artist and wish to develop their practice and have greater public interface. We welcome partnership projects from the wider community that look to transform lives and champion inclusion.

Artistic and craft based workshops and outreach programmes. Public and community exhibitions and events.
