Zinc Arts

Zinc Arts is a dynamic, leading arts and education charity that believes passionately in arts without exception. We work with people of all ages and abilities, but specialise in working with children, young people and adults who are disabled, learning disabled or mental health service users. We provide beneficial inclusive opportunities for participants to be engaged creatively, educationally and vocationally in the arts, motivating individuals to achieve their full potential. Zinc Arts is based in Chipping Ongar, Essex, and it represents the UK's first fully accessible Residential Arts Centre. Since our new building opened in 2011, Zinc Arts Centre has been turning heads across the arts, education and charity sectors. It's not the wealth of versatile high-quality spaces that makes our centre truly unique, it is instead our socially responsible approach to venue hire that sets us apart from your everyday venue. Venue hire at Zinc Arts Centre actively supports the programmes that we run, with all proceeds being fed back into the high-quality creative activities we deliver to people of all ages and abilities. Zinc Arts also undertakes funded outreach work with participants and organisations across the Eastern Region. We actively seek out new creative and innnovative partnerships across the UK to ensure that we can reach the hardest to reach people and provide them with access to high quality, fun and engaging arts activities.
