Martin and Friends
Making the world a better place through art.
Art is for everyone. #ofbyforall
Everyone deserves the right to thrive and access arts engagement.
We are making this happen by delivering diversified, portable, inclusive, sensory, and innovative arts engagement presented by national art treasure and artist Martin Edge and award-winning cultural producer and Founder of @TheCultureCrusader, Pia Robinson.
The Dream Team
Martin and Friends is a collaboration between national art treasure Martin Edge and award-winning arts manager Pia Robinson, Founder of @TheCultureCrusader.
Martin and Pia are BIG dreamers and doers who want to make a difference in the world around them.
Martin and Pia’s friendship began when they met at a small arts organisation in 2008. Since then, they have been weaving in and out of each other’s lives, incidentally influencing each other’s careers, growing a little bit older and much wiser.
Through this mutual friendship, a deep sense of trust, respect and admiration has grown between them over the years.
Martin and Friends involves a collaborative process between Martin and Pia, alongside other incredible neurodivergent creatives, industry and experts, to deliver outcomes that are #ofbyfor (of the community, by the community, for the community).
