Welcome

I’m Toby Lowe, Chief Executive of Helix Arts. We help marginalised and disadvantaged people to explore, reflect on and share their stories by taking part in a wide range of artistic activities, including film-making, dance, music, photography, creative writing, design, animation (and much more). This blog is to share our ideas and practice about the arts, and the role of the arts in society, and provide us with a mechanism to get feedback about what we do. We hope you find it (by turns) interesting, irritating and thought-provoking. We’d very much like to hear what you think.
