Independent Arts is really pleased and proud to be selected as the nominated charity of Cowes Fringe, a brand new quirky and creative showcase of talent, taking place 26th-28th May 2023.

A Four thousand pounds commission is being offered for artists/performers to work with young people in Ventnor to create a youth-friendly creative space in the town during February and March this year.

A wide range of participants, from primary aged children to the elderly, have been celebrating the festive season with Independent Arts in the run-up to Christmas.

Our latest exhibition at our Creative Hub in Newport showcases the work of young people coming to terms with some of the difficult issues facing them on a post-pandemic Isle of Wight.

Independent Arts is hoping to help more long covid sufferers with a new 12-week programme of a singing therapy with a proven track record of helping people with breathing difficulties

If you pop into Independent Arts on Newport High Street on Saturday 19 November, you might notice that something’s different: there will be the usual warm welcome and free creative workshops, but instead of the regular staff and volunteers, these will be offered by students of the Isle of Wight Education Federation (IWEF), who will be taking over for the day.

It’s never too late to find your creative voice or benefit from creativity, as the vibrant new exhibition at Newport-based arts for wellbeing charity Independent Arts shows.
