Art for Guernsey was founded by David Ummels as a direct response to the level of integrity that he found when he moved to the island. Art for Guernsey is a charitable initiative managed by a team of passionate professionals who share a belief in the transformative power of art to bring communities together, provide educational opportunities, promote cultural diplomacy and create an artistic legacy for Guernsey. 

The team has a strong remit to bring art where it is most needed, to inspire people and try to make them happy. Art for Guernsey is driven by a strong desire to create opportunities for islanders to discover high-quality art for free, and to create catalysts within the art, educational and charitable sectors.
