Summer 2026 Status

We are a newly formed Community Interest Company, and this website shows you our vision — the imagery is AI-generated to help you picture what we will create, and everything described is what we’re designing towards, not work already built. Start-up grants, venue & school partnerships and donations/sponsors help us build the first installations; our roadmap will show you how.

What we design and create

Outdoor Sensory Spaces

Outdoor instruments and apparatus that let people play with sound and explore colour and light — accessible, easy to use, and always in tune.

Evening Installations

Immersive, interactive evening installations of sound and illumination, interwoven into beautiful outdoor spaces — gardens, arboretums, forests, heritage sites and festivals.

Why we are a Community Interest Company

As a CIC we are legally locked to our purpose — everything we earn or are given goes back to fund our work, not for private gain.

Our purpose is advancing the arts from an ethos of maximising accessibility and inclusivity.

Accessibility by designing first for neurodivergent, sensory-sensitive and disabled people, then out to everyone else.

Inclusivity by making sure belief systems, language barriers or income never stop someone taking part.

We create a space where everyone feels welcome to join in and play.

What we share

We publicly share what we know, what we learn and the established research on how sound, light and environment affect our nervous systems. Designing first for the most sensitive means knowing exactly what helps and what gets in the way — the pace, the noise, the light, the intensity, the crowd, the step at the door. That knowledge and understanding is relevant anywhere: a classroom, a cafe, an arboretum, a festival. We share it for anyone to use.

Evening Installations

A calm, beautiful evening out — an alternative to over-stimulating mainstream events for Halloween, Fireworks Night, Christmas and New Year’s light trails.

Coherent Sensory Spaces

What we build is decided by both established research and our decades of lived experience working in all areas that Interwoven Arts touches. We draw this body of knowledge together under one name.

Coherent Sensory Spaces — a drawn plan of sensory-space designs, harmonic diagrams and the five senses arranged around a garden. Explore the research →
