Oblique Arts is an artist led organisation working with communities, to explore their creative potential through high quality visual arts and music projects. We create art, events and exhibitions for positive social change.
We use the arts to encourage critical thinking and creative action as well as improve mental wellbeing. We specialise in working with at risk young people and hard to reach communities.
