About Sheba Arts

Sheba Arts is a Manchester-based organisation led by artists from migrant and refugee backgrounds. We use the power of the arts to amplify underrepresented voices, create platforms for self-expression, and promote intercultural understanding.

Since our founding, we have worked with artists, communities, and cultural institutions across Greater Manchester and beyond to co-create projects that celebrate diversity and challenge inequality. Our work spans visual arts, performance, storytelling, film, and community-based workshops, always grounded in collaboration, creativity, and care.

We believe that art can bring people together, foster dialogue, and inspire positive social change. By supporting emerging artists and engaging communities through participatory projects, we aim to build stronger, more inclusive societies where everyone’s story is valued.

Our programmes include exhibitions, community festivals, artist residencies, podcasts, and international collaborations. Whether we’re working in galleries, community centres, or public spaces, our goal remains the same: to create meaningful artistic experiences that connect people across cultures and backgrounds.
​

Sheba Arts continues to grow as a creative platform where artists and communities come together to imagine a more equitable and compassionate world.
