Everybody Arts is an art school, gallery and artist studios in Halifax. We champion the value of art and creativity in everyday life – and believe art should be available to all, offering an exciting programme of art courses and workshops. Our work also takes place out in the community at schools and community venues, online and in peoples homes.

Set in the glorious and historic GII* Industrial Textiles Mill at Shaw Lodge, Halifax, we enjoy world class facilities set in vast spaces. We occupy over 15,000 sq ft across 3 floors with well equipped studios, schools workshop, print rooms and galleries where learners develop their skills across a huge range of modern and traditional arts, design and crafts, supporting their progress and advancement toward independent practice and enterprise.

Everybody Arts is a community interest company so we don’t work for profit. The income we generate is used to support the communities we are established to serve and we offer reduced cost and subsided places across our learning programme. Our highly experienced artist tutors provide quality and accessible arts provision to cultivate truly outstanding arts, design & crafts that is open to all.

We also house the 1830 Gallery, a traditional and contemporary art gallery where we host a broad range of exhibitions from national and international artists & designers.
