“It’s not all about us, the artists, but all individual’s involved”
Ethos
Anam Beo is an arts organisation that encourages self activations & empowerment through meaningful engagements with consultative arts practices.
Artists facilitate arts inclusion with the delivery of collaborative projects and artists initiatives in care & community settings.
Each facilitating artist must possess warmth & empathy with respect for the individuals and a trust in the creative and artistic process. With generously living together, the artist’s practice facilitates individual expression & the creation of artworks in a safe and socially inclusive environment.
