Current Projects and Supporters
H’art Centre works to provide artists with disabilities and those facing barriers with opportunities to create, study and produce works in the arts and collaborate with qualified, trained community artists. We often hit the headlines when we have a major production in the works but we regularly respond to the needs in our community through different types of projects.
Here you can learn more about these projects and the community partners who are making an impact.
