B arts

B arts (Beavers Arts ltd) is a combined and participatory arts organisation founded in 1985. Our artistic vision is to produce high quality arts experiences with people from many different backgrounds who would not normally engage with the arts. We aim to strengthen the cultural infrastructure in our area; increase the diversity and range of artists and producers working in the region, and offer quality and depth of engagement in the arts to all.
Our vision is of a society where everyone has an equal chance to take part, and by taking part can make change for the better in themselves, their place and their communities. Our aim is to improve the lives of people and the places in which they live through creative and cultural interventions.
We work locally, nationally and internationally. In 2014 we moved into an ex-industrial building in Stoke on Trent and created a new front door for the organisation with our community-led real bread bakery, Bread in Common.
