Community

Stanley Arts is a home for arts and community activity. We have a growing programme of different community activities for people to get involved with. From the three year Inventing South Norwood culture programme, to one-off arts workshops, to our Croydon Emerging Writers Programme, we have lots of free activities for you to get involved in. This part of the website hosts all the current and past programmes in one place.
