Jelly is an energetic collaboration of artists supporting each other and the wider community; acting as a catalyst and making space for art in the everyday.
Playing a strategic role in Reading's cultural development working to improve access to visual arts for all. We support and develop visual artists, building pathways towards careers in the creative industries and providing freelance opportunities.
We advocate for artists, improving access to the arts and strengthening the opportunities for emerging and established artists, especially those who may face barriers.
Since 1993, Jelly has moulded and shaped to fit different spaces, adapting and changing to inhabit a space (that is not always a building or venue) to work collaboratively with artists, other cultural organisations, partners and the wider community locally and internationally.
Jelly is a registered charity.
