Arty-Folks is an Art & Mental Health Charity supporting adults in the CV postal code area on their recovery journey. We run courses and workshops online and in-person at our art studios in the centre of Coventry.
Arty-Folks started in 1995 as a self-help group for adults with severe mental illnesses who were looking for a creative outlet and a supportive community of like-minded people.
We now support per year over 700 adults of working age to improve mental health and wellbeing through
- art for learning, self-expression, and therapy
- creative peer support groups
- 1:1 mental health support and practical coaching

“I recognised my mental health was getting worse and I couldn’t wait any longer for help. Luckily a friend told me about Arty-Folks and I joined the art studios within a couple of weeks.
I loved my weekly class straight away. I learnt so much about myself, about art and about mental health, and I feel now so much more confident and better equipped to meet the challenges life is going to throw at me.”
