We believe creativity should be accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to remove barriers to making art so everyone can feel the benefits of creativity.

Our community art trolley is stocked entirely with shared materials that anyone can use during our creative sessions or in fact anytime they visit Northlight.

If you have unwanted art and craft supplies gathering dust at home, we’d love to give them a second life.

Paints, brushes, pens, paper, sketchbooks, inks, charcoal, collage materials and more are always welcome.

Drop donations off at Northlight during opening hours.

Less waste and more creativity. More people making.
Sounds good to us!
