'What Rules! What Rules?' By Paul Bellingham

Creative Future is a registered charity working mainly in the South East. We support artists and writers who also manage a mental illness and/or physical disabilities. We give those excluded by society the chance to reintegrate through their own talents by providing training, support, exhibiting and publishing opportunities and selling & promoting their work at the highest levels.

We believe that the development of quality is vitally important in the creative process and encourage professional presentation at all times. We are not focusing on fixing people, we are focusing on honouring their artwork, their creativity, their writing - creating situations where their creativity is appreciated.

for a quick overview. Many thanks to Lotus Thu Nguyen for her contribution to the making of this film.

We delivered the first art fair (the Impact Art Fair) to solely exhibit marginalised and outsider artists, which was held at the Candid Arts Trust in May 2011. The Impact Art Fair 2011, which artist, Bobby Baker described as “brilliant and inspired!” was a great success with many artists selling work, leading to feelings of pride and confidence in themselves and their work. It is to become an annual London event to celebrate the high quality of work produced by talented artists who also struggle with a disability or illness.
