Communities

We offer a wide range of opportunities throughout the year for people to take part in arts activities and develop their creativity, both at artsdepot and in our local communities as part of our Beyond Our Walls programme. We focus creating friendly, supportive spaces where everyone can try something new, explore their creativity, and boost their confidence and wellbeing.

Beyond Our Walls is a three-year creative programme supporting local people in Barnet (Burnt Oak, Colindale, and West Hendon) to imagine and shape the future of local culture.

We’re working alongside residents, artists, community groups, and local changemakers to co-create exciting creative plans for each area — from pop-up festivals and public art to reimagining shared spaces. Together, we’re building community panels, nurturing local ideas, and forming partnerships to unlock more resources and opportunities — with the aim of making our neighbourhoods more vibrant, connected, and full of possibility.
