CREATING A BRIGHTER, MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE FUTURE

Inspiring Minds

Opal22 responds to community needs by providing programmes that break down barriers to accessing mainstream Arts, Heritage, and Culture for people of colour & the working-class.

We envision a Britain deeply rooted in African and Caribbean communities, where Black British History is fully recognised, and the contributions of the African Diaspora are celebrated in the creative landscape.
