Art with Heart: We are a group of friends who hold a 3 day creative event each season, in a great location and venue, on Portobello road at the very heart of Notting Hill. We use the 20th century theatre to exhibit and sell our creations and some of us make performances ( music, dance, song etc.) in the evenings on the stage. People who attend the event get a chance to make their own piece of art too! Our intention is to value and promote creativity both in ourselves and our audience. Creativity brings fun and good feelings that gradually melt away the difficulties in life. We believe that by inspiring creativity in all walks of life - we are making a vital difference to every-ones lives. We value our creativity through the enjoyment we find in doing it! This is more important than skill or reputation but actually when we are on a path where we focus on doing what we love to do, we become skillful in a natural-unforced and best of all enjoyable way! As a group of friends we share the responsibility and opportunity of creating the extravaganza itself, by collectively hiring the theatre, and in the simple ways we promote the event.
