Helix Arts specialises in the development of projects and initiatives, including artist residencies and commissions, which explore the role and potential of the arts in a social context. Projects are created for specific contexts and artists are selected for the relevance and quality of their work. Building longer-term partnerships, particularly with the public and voluntary sectors, has enabled Helix Arts to produce projects designed to engender broad participation, collaboration and sustainability.

Our overall aim is to provide opportunities for the development of individual creative potential and we are committed to the kind of collaborative approaches that ensure participants have a central role in shaping projects.

In a typical year Helix Arts works with 30 to 50 artists selected for their ability to co-produce high quality art through a participatory process. We work across a range of art form areas including visual arts, film-making, creative writing, graphic design, street dance, music and MCing, photography, drama and kite-making. We deliver between 7 and 10 projects each year, ranging from short-term projects that take place within a 6 to 12 month period to long-term projects lasting 5 years or more.

Helix Arts has charitable status and is revenue funded by Arts Council England, North East. We welcome approaches from agencies planning to develop new projects.

Helix Arts is a Business Link Approved Service Provider.
