Sarah Moncrieff
Chair
Founder of Time for Art, Sarah is an artist and teacher. Her interest in providing art workshops and classes to people with limited access to art began several years ago when she visited Dakar in Senegal and came across Empire des Enfants, a home for street children. She visited several times over the next decade, taking art materials with her and devising projects for the children to undertake. Witnessing the benefits she saw the children enjoy from creative activity inspired her to set up Time for Art.
