About Tanio

Tanio is committed to providing access to a range of creative activities and interventions to different communities – both locally and internationally. Focusing on three core values – igniting community, igniting creativity, and igniting change – Tanio believes that equipping individuals with the courage and self-assurance that creative self-expression can nurture, individuals and communities can be strengthened and enriched, using Community Arts as a vehicle for exploration and empowerment. Igniting communitiesthroughcreativityis a great wayto come together.Weform new connectionswith like-minded peoplewhileproviding some escapism from everyday life.Our door isalwaysopen, and everybody isalwayswelcome. Igniting creativity focuses on giving everyone an outlet to connect with the arts in a safe, empowering space where everybody’s contribution to the creative process is valued. Evenif youfeel like youneedto dig a little deeper to find out what it is you love, everyone is creative in their own way, and we want tohelp youfind ways toenableyour creativitytoflourish. By ignitingchange,wemean using the arts to have meaningfulconversations andinstigate meaningful change workingalongsideyou, for you,andforyour community. Engagingin new art forms is one of the best ways to stay connected to our mental and physical health. There’s always an opportunity to express yourself through the arts which we want to help you explore,on your terms, and through the art forms that you love. We can’t promise everything, but we can promise to always try. Established during the miners’ strike in the early 1980’s under the name Valley & Vale, the organisation has worked with countless people and communities. After decades of work, we’ve naturally evolved over the years to align with what communities need from us, and in 2020, we rebranded as Tanio. Tanio means‘to spark’or‘ignite’in Welsh.
