Bus and Bird Arts designs experiences to develop creativity in all ages and abilities. Courses allow participants to kick-start their creativity or build upon existing skills.

“The question is not what can the public do for the arts but what is it that the arts can do for the wider public and their own local communities?” Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
