Enriching lives through festival culture
We enrich lives through public art, residencies, events and programmes using, mainly the Festival Arts as a vehicle for wellbeing and education.
Lin Kam Art was founded by Linett Kamala. She is a graduate of the University of Arts London and has over 30 years of experience delivering high quality events, residency and programmes in a variety of settings, such as community art workshops, international art trips and art consultancy. All this equates to reaching thousands of people!
We are also developing the next generation of leaders through the Lin Kam Art Sound System Futures Programme which provides a pathway into events such as the iconic Notting Hill Carnival.
All of our facilitators and artists have completed an enhanced DBS and the latest Safeguarding training. Lin Kam Art also delivers Welfare and Vulnerability Engagement (WAVE) Training to those involved in the festival industry.
