Arts Active Arts Active delivers an inclusive, innovative and exciting programme of creative activities and learning opportunities

The Arts Active Trust is an independent charitable trust supporting people to enjoy the arts through its programme of creative, participatory activities based in Cardiff and the surrounding areas. The Arts Active programme takes its inspiration from the diverse programme at the venue and capitalises on the expertise and resources they have, using them as a powerful catalyst for creative endeavours

. We aim to encourage people, from the youngest to oldest, to engage in and enjoy arts activity. The Trust believes passionately in the power of the high quality arts projects to engage, inspire and transform people’s lives no matter what their economic, cultural and social context may be. As a charitable organisation Arts Active Trust relies on support from the corporate sector, trusts and foundations and individuals in order to continue to develop its community engagement, working with schools, communities and disadvantaged groups throughout Wales. The Arts Active Trust works closely with and receives support from Cardiff Council to deliver the Arts Active programme.

When John joined Music Lab as a teenager, he was approaching the end of school and feeling unsure about what came next. He had a strong interest in the music industry but didn’t identify as a musician and had little experience with music technology or creative production.

Over time, John grew noticeably in confidence. He became more engaged, contributed ideas within sessions, and began working more independently with production software and techniques.

Read John’s entire story here: https://artsactive.org.uk/en/2026/05/19/finding-direction-through-music-johns-journey-with-music-lab/

Pan ymunodd John â’r Lab Cerdd yn ei arddegau, roedd yn agosáu at ddiwedd yr ysgol ac yn teimlo’n ansicr am yr hyn oedd yn dod nesaf. Roedd ganddo ddiddordeb mawr yn y diwydiant cerddoriaeth ond nid oedd yn uniaethu fel cerddor ac nid oedd ganddo fawr o brofiad gyda thechnoleg cerddoriaeth na chynhyrchu creadigol.

Dros amser, roedd yn amlwg bod John wedi magu hyder. Daeth yn fwy cysylltiedig, roedd yn cyfrannu syniadau mewn sesiynau, a dechreuodd weithio’n fwy annibynnol gyda meddalwedd a thechnegau cynhyrchu.
