About Us
We create joyful spaces by working with local people to co-design and paint public art. Our free inclusive workshops encourage collaboration, promote well-being, and enhance local engagement, while providing life-long skills and friendships. By transforming public spaces into vibrant works of art, we instill a sense of pride and connection within local communities.
Our Story
Co-Creative Connection began during COVID, when founder Rose Hill wanted to do one small thing to bring joy during an incredibly challenging time. Knowing she wasn’t a doctor or a nurse, Rose asked herself how she could make a difference in her own way. She believed in the power of art to transform how people feel, create connection and bring positivity into people’s lives.
After seeing the joy, confidence and sense of belonging created through that first project, Rose realised the incredible impact creativity could have on communities. What started as one small act of kindness became a mission to create joyful spaces where everyone can connect, express themselves and feel a sense of belonging.
