The Studio is often used as a base for the many community based projects that we are involved in on a voluntary basis.

Some of the Artists, Students and Volunteers that work with the studio have in recent years been involved in organising, The Basildon District Art Trail  (A127 Trail), The Basildon Eastgate Art Gallery and sponsoring The Arts/Culture category at the Celebration of Youth Awards.

We regularly take pupils for Work Experience as well as support Basildon Council and The Eastgate Shopping Centre on a wide range of cultural initiatives.

We have worked with a large number of local schools in a professional and Voluntary capacity as well as supporting Essex Libraries Gallery Selection Panel. 

Since 1998 Dean has been involved with over 50 local art initiatives.
