create to connect

The essence of our programmes relies on connection.

Calling artists

We are thankful to our growing community of notable creatives & professional artists who volunteer to design colouring-in artworks and mindfulness art exercises to enhance wellbeing, facilitate creative flow and bring about a gentle pause. Over 400 artists from all over the world have already donated artworks.
These special contributions elevate our programmes and are invaluable in helping the organisation carry its mission to greater success.

draw for others

ASB resources centre on unique colouring-in artworks donated by artists and creatives from all walks of life alongside crowd-sourced drawings submitted by people of all ages and abilities, across the world. So that at its roots ours is a co-created, community-fuelled, community-serving organisation. There is a beautiful shared humanity in this interweaving of lines drawn from one heart to another - ultimately filled with colour by connecting hands.

donate an artwork
become our artist in residence

Every month, a new ASB Artist in Residence will work more closely with us, to design a series of material for our Hospital Creative Care Boxes; help run table sessions in the Hospitals and Centres where we work (if possible) and generally support our ASB programmes more deliberately. This scheme offers a philanthropic platform for artists and gives us the opportunity, in turn, to support the artist community.
