The Collective is an eclectic group of inspired young artists at Holy Cross College. Today, it has grown to be an exemplary demonstration of student initiative and capability, now operating as a self-run, highly developed organisation. Together, we put our skills as Art & Design students into practice, having held exhibitions attended by thousands of people, produced over 5,000 publications, and raised over £6,000 as a successful business to fund our work.

Our aim has always been to connect and to inspire, consistently demonstrating the power of art in modern life. We explore topics relevant to not just ourselves but to everyone, everywhere. We explore what is important for you.

Since the birth of The Collective in only 2017, an ambitious array of topics have been explored by the 100+ people we have worked with.

This year, we will be focusing on promoting positive mental health and wellbeing. Our goal is to inspire people to come together, working towards one common goal of looking out for one another and creating accepting environments.
