Arc. Arts for Recovery in the Community


“Working at Arc is a very rewarding and creative experience. For me, personally, I enjoy the team spirit, encouragement and enthusiasm of members, staff and volunteers - it is a breath of fresh air compared to the hard edged, competitive corporate design world I had come from.”

Associates have worked in a huge range of disciplines, including:

•  animation
