Our mission
Our vision
Wyldwood Arts was founded in 2014 to facilitate access to meaningful creative encounters that promote connection within and between communities across the South West and beyond.
As we continue to evolve as an organisation, this vision remains at the heart of what we do. From our base in the beautiful Forest of Dean, we use play and creativity to bring people of all ages together.
Our mission
To deliver unique, high quality, participatory arts projects and productions that unite communities and enhance social and emotional wellbeing.
To specialise in intergenerational work, creating productions, large-scale community events, therapeutic and educational projects that are tailored to individual and group needs.
To work at the heart of communities with older people, those with special educational needs, children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and people in rural areas.
To collaborate with local artists and those early in their career, educational establishments, arts organisations and other groups whose missions align with ours.
Our values
Producing work with integrity, with and for the community.
Collaborating and learning from other organisations, artists and people.
Valuing playfulness at all stages of life.
Creating safe, supportive environments in which to share stories and learn from others’ experiences.
Treating everyone with empathy and respect, and valuing the individual’s creative process.
