Some history
Arts Alive was founded in 1988 by Liz Buckler and Chrys Blanchard. Both inspirational creative individuals, Chrys and Liz were looking for activities for their own young children to help them explore and develop their creative talents. Since there was little available in the area at that time, they started up Arts Alive to fill the gap.
