Single Homeless Project is proud to present its 2025 ArtHouse Exhibition at the University of Greenwich Galleries 10-30 October 2025. The exhibition is a celebration of the creativity and imagination of artists from across its community. In the charity’s 50th anniversary year, the exhibition highlights the originality, skill and diverse perspectives of people who access its services.
ArtHouse is Single Homeless Project’s diverse and dynamic creative arts programme, built on a belief that creativity should be open to everyone. Available exclusively to people accessing the charity’s housing and support, ArtHouse offers courses in sculpture, photography, drama, carpentry, painting, illustration, collage and screen-printing, led by professional artists and facilitators. Alongside these courses, participants regularly collaborate with some of London’s leading cultural institutions.
Through partnerships with institutions including Tate Galleries, the British Museum, the Young Vic, the National Theatre and Cardboard Citizens Theatre Company, the programme ensures equal access to the arts and a platform for voices too often unheard.
This year’s exhibition features work created with brilliant partners and artists including the University of Greenwich Galleries, the British Museum, Café Art, Karole Lange, Christine Teeling, Meghan O’Malley, Kirti Virmani, Martha Mitchell, Camilla Jayne Robinson and Sam Sheard.
Spotlight on Special Delivery
A highlight of the 2025 exhibition is Special Delivery, a nine-week project co-produced with the British Museum. Designed and facilitated by artist Meghan O’Malley, with support from screen-print artists Christine Teeling and Kirti Virmani, the course explored creativity through screen-printing and mural painting.
Inspired by the idea that every individual has a unique and valuable story, participants created personalised postal stamps that celebrated identity, memory, culture and heritage. During a visit to the British Museum, they selected objects connected to places that hold meaning for them. These shapes and patterns then inspired both their stamp designs and a collaborative mural, now transforming one of Single Homeless Project’s buildings. For this exhibition, elements of the mural have been brought into the gallery, offering a glimpse of the vibrant artwork created together.
More than a programme, ArtHouse is a thriving artistic community that champions expression, collaboration and talent. In Single Homeless Project’s 50th anniversary year, the 2025 exhibition is a reminder that creativity is not a luxury, it is a lifeline.
Ruth Milne, Creative Arts Programme Manager, Single Homeless Project said:
“ArtHouse is about opening doors, creating opportunities and celebrating talent. This exhibition is a powerful display of the originality and imagination within our community.”
