Lumina Arts Alliance - Creative Workshops in the Heart of Northampton

Nestled in a 17th-century building on George’s Row, Lumina Arts Alliance delivers hands-on workshops that make creativity accessible to all. From photography and music production to abstract painting, creative make-up, and more, every session is led by industry professionals and designed to spark new skills, build confidence, and enhance wellbeing.

Alongside workshops, we offer opportunities for exhibitions, mentoring, and portfolio development, giving participants real platforms to showcase their work and take the next step in their creative journey.

We welcome beginners and experienced creatives alike, offering a supportive space to experiment, connect, and grow, strengthening both individual potential and community life in Northamptonshire.

Volunteers help with set-up, welcoming participants, and supporting workshops, making sure everything runs smoothly. Even an hour or two of your time can make a big difference. It’s also a great way to meet new people, build skills, and be part of our creative community.

Partnerships and referrals are vital to our mission. By working with schools, community groups, and local organisations, we bring creative opportunities to those who benefit most. Referring individuals or groups helps expand access to workshops, exhibitions, and skills development.

Collaboration makes the biggest impact, and together we can create lasting change across Northamptonshire

Donations and sponsorships help fund workshops, materials, and events that bring creativity to life. Every contribution makes a difference and supports more people in our community to access opportunities. Sponsorships also help us grow our reach, ensuring these programmes continue to make an impact.
