Chapel Arts Studios (CAS)

Chapel Arts Studios (CAS) is a socially engaged contemporary visual arts charity based in Andover, Hampshire.

We are one of Arts Council England's National Portfolio Organisations (NPO).

We believe that in a disconnected community with lack of access to cultural opportunities for all, we create a home of connections and possibilities through art. By being part of the cultural transformation of Andover and championing inclusion and creative potential in the wider region, we inspire our communities and nurture creatives, thus transforming lives.

Our vision is to create community and opportunities through art!

It is our mission to work with our local communities and give a sense of belonging to everyone engaging with us. We develop and nurture artists of all ages to maximise their potential and inspire our communities by sharing high quality art with them.
