About Creative Minds
Founded in
November 2012 by James Cropper
Creative Minds has spent over a decade delivering accessible, therapeutic and empowering art sessions to people of all ages and abilities. What began as a single creative venture has grown into a thriving nationwide community of trained Creative Minds Artists, each passionate about bringing creativity, connection and joy to the people they support.
For more than ten years, we have earned a trusted reputation across the UK as a reliable and respected creative wellbeing provider. Our artists work in a wide range of venues, including care homes, schools, SEND settings, learning disability services, day centres, community organisations and more. No matter the setting, our purpose remains the same: to make art accessible, meaningful and enjoyable for everyone.
What We Do
Creative Minds Artists deliver person-centred, therapeutic art sessions that inspire confidence, encourage self-expression and foster genuine human connection. Each session offers participants the opportunity to explore different art mediums, experiment with a variety of creative techniques and enjoy the shared experience of making something new.
We believe creativity should be inclusive and accessible. Our sessions are designed to adapt to any ability level, ensuring that everyone has the chance to participate, create and take pride in their artwork. From relaxing painting sessions to stimulating creative workshops, our artists bring warmth, skill and passion into every interaction.
