"Working with Ort Gallery was a turning point in my creative journey. Ort's support helped me clarify my vision, strengthen my voice, and gain the confidence to pursue new opportunities. I’m deeply grateful for the encouragement and care throughout our collaboration."

Abraham Cole, Artist

Every year we work with over 2000 participants in workshops, events & online programme.

75% of our participants say that coming to Ort is their first encounter with an arts venue and 67% said they were now more likely to engage with other arts venues in the future.

In 2024 we spent £71,500 on artist fees - 45% of our overall spend for the year

We work with over 100 artists, creatives, poets, workshop leads, photographers, filmmakers and designers each year.

A majority of the creatives we work with are racialised, disabled, queer, working class and/or excluded from mainstream arts provision.

"Working with Ort led to quite a few career opportunities for me. It’s hard to say if these would have happened without Ort but there seems to be a link between me being able to have had a show exactly as I had envisioned it and people seeing my work. It also gave me the confidence to work bigger and create more ambitious works for larger audiences."

Kashif Nadim Chaudry, Artist

Last year, 85% of our workshop participants said that they had made new connections and felt less isolated.
