Our Patrons

“Giving an opportunity to those who sometimes don’t know how to find that door is a responsibility to all of us who work in the arts”

Jonathan Butterell

“Wac Arts is a lifeline. We would be immeasurably poorer without the young people who have passed through their doors.”

Simon Callow

“Wac Arts felt like home every weekend.”

Ms Dynamite

“Wac Arts supports young people in fulfilling their potential”

Martina Laird

“The power of the arts. Let it be for all not just the privileged few.”

Ann Mitchell

“Wac Arts was a gift to kids like me. It was a route out of – it sounds like a bit of a cliche – the ghetto.”

Danny Sapani

“Wac Arts is an organisation supporting young people who often come from challenging backgrounds like mine.”
