Description

Art with Heart are an award-winning Salford based arts company, we design and deliver performances, workshops and people-led creative projects for community groups, arts organisations and schools across the UK. We believe that when people come together through art, they have the power to make change and that change can take place where it's needed: in theatres, classrooms, community centres, libraries, on trams – and even in caravans - using whatever art form fits best: plays, podcasts, workshops, films and exhibitions.

Welcome to our podcast channel where you can enjoy our 2 podcast series, Salford Voices and Box Tickers.

Salford Voices

Handing the mic to everyday Salfordians

2026 marks 100 years since Salford was officially granted city status, and we’re on a mission to capture what it truly means to be from Salford, putting Salfordians firmly at the heart of the centenary celebrations. To celebrate Salford’s big birthday, we teamed up with local artists and communities across the city to share stories from the past and present and to listen to what people hope the next 100 years will bring.

BOX TICKERS

The stories behind the stats.

As the Equality Act 2010 turns 10, Art with Heart has returned to its list of protected characteristics and asked, is ‘protection’ enough? How can we come together and build a future that accommodates everyone? Art with Heart have commissioned 13 artists to produce provocations for a mini podcast series, and invites you to listen to their challenges. To engage with their perspectives. To consider a better future. This series also includes a special one-off episode exploring what equality means to children in Manchester and what adults can do to make things better for the next generation.
