Nine Elms Arts Ministry

Nine Elms Arts Ministry is an arts community which has been working in Battersea and Nine Elms since 2018.

Partnership Project

Nine Elms Arts Ministry is led by Revd Betsy Blatchley, Pioneer Minister in the Arts in Nine Elms, and is supported by the Anglican Diocese of Southwark. It brings together creatives, businesses and residents in Nine Elms through arts events and initiatives with a focus around wellbeing, spirituality, and social justice. Since 2019, one of its flagship projects has been the Advent Calendar Art Trail. In 2021, the Art Trail created a collaboration of over 60 creatives, businesses and community groups. Nine Elms Arts Ministry was a founding partner in the ‘Create and Learn Play Kits’ project which has distributed 10,000 creative packs to primary school children most in need across Wandsworth during the pandemic. They have also hosted Social Media Exhibitions around thought-provoking topics theme, which offer a platform to locally-based artists and a regular programme of arts prayer events – live and via zoom.
