Heart of Glass is a St Helens, Merseyside-based collaborative and social arts organisation. We believe that art has the power to bring us together and create change, for the people of our community, and the place we call home. By working with artists and communities we support each other, and learn from each other, on creative journeys of enquiry and exploration.
