“There is always something to be grateful for, however big or small”

Gratitude wall community art

Our award winning mobile Gratitude wall project tours museums, galleries, festivals, schools and workplaces for communities to share what they are thankful for and learn about the benefits of practising gratitude.

We believe that this project touches the role that art and research have in our society and contributes to meaningful links with our communities. 

We continue to work with local organisations to take the Gratitude wall to new places.
