Artlink Central is a socially engaged arts organization that brings together artists and individuals facing exclusion, disability, or disadvantage. Their mission is to explore the creative potential of socially engaged arts practice in public and sited spaces. They create challenging experimental work that fosters cultural exchange without any compromises.

Through their programs and projects, they use creativity to break down barriers and create an inclusive environment for both the audience and participants. Artlink Central values the unique perspectives and voices of their participants and boldly presents their work on a public platform. They offer various ongoing social prescription and member-led services, including Artspace for adult mental health, Artreach for adults with learning disabilities, and place-based projects that explore arts, creativity, and community.

Their impact is measured through individual outcomes, which include reducing social isolation, enhancing confidence and wellbeing, and supporting personal recovery and progression. Artlink Central also collaborates with public and education bodies to design creative solutions in healthcare and social care settings, schools, prisons, and community settings, aiming to widen access to culture, heritage, and social opportunity
