Love & Etiquette aim to design, promote and present high quality visual art, workshops, commissions and exhibitions for cross cultural community engagement, to encourage positive messages and change perceptions.
The L&E Foundation is a Lancashire based initiative which endeavours to make a difference to places, lives and communities through Art, History and Culture offering an alternative perspective on how we view people and their heritage. Through workshops, exhibitions and educational programmes, L&E promotes awareness by bridging the gap of understanding which is so often found in communities.
The growing and diverse list of practitioners include Calligraphy Artists, Designers, Graffiti Artists, Hand Craftspeople, Musicians, Poets, Dancers, Theatrical Performers, Motivational Speakers and more.
