About

HvH ARTS ‘Inspire & Create’ Summer Exhibition 2025

We hosted our annual summer exhibition and festival on Saturday 30th August to celebrate the achievements of HvH ARTS Summer Holiday program. This program supports over 70 children and young people giving them free access to the arts & media projects, providing healthy hot lunches and drinks every single day during the long summer holidays. We are proud of the work we do with our beneficiaries and the work they produce. This year our exhibition/festival was hosted by our CEO Debbi Clark and The Mayor of Camden, Eddie Hanson MBE.

We had a fun-filled day bursting with creativity! Celebrating the amazing art & photography created by our young people this Summer with live performances from our bands The Crimson and TMMP, plus visual arts show-cases, fashion shows, and dance performances

Our very talented beneficiaries created some excellent work, performed their visual arts show, dance show, theatre production and as always showed us their brilliant musical skills form our young bands from The Music Mentoring Project at HvH ARTS. And as always we had our annual cake supplied by our local patisserie in Queens Crescent.

 

Quotes

Founder-CEO – Debbi Clark

“My reason for starting the charity was to give the gift of art through inspiring young people. I wanted them to have the skills and tools to develop lifelong artistic passions and to be able to express themselves and gain confidence in all areas of their lives. As a photographer, I knew from personal experience the transformational effect of having a medium that I can express myself through – I wanted children to feel this magic too. Helen believed that every child should have equal opportunities in the arts, advocating that the arts should be accessible to every child. Helen was the most phenomenal woman I have had the honour to call my friend, my patron, my inspiration.”
