Through our own battles with cancer, chronic disease and mental illness, we came together as close friends with a passion to elevate creativity as a pillar of health. 

We launched A Space Between from a place of lived experience, setting out to build programmes that would inspire a simple creative pause within hospital settings and into the community. Our vision was to break down generational barriers, patient-carer boundaries and social confines through a collective art space open to all.

We believe that art-making in its simplest, most child-like form is a powerful connector - connecting to oneself; connecting to others.

A Space Between is about channelling anguish, escaping boredom, blocking out noise just for that one moment where art can take over and do its thing. 

We set about inspiring a multitude of creative pauses - moments as though suspended in time amidst life’s rushes; spaces between.
