6. Sessions Delivered

The artist delivers the agreed sessions. Payments are transferred directly via Stripe.

Making Art for Enlightenment does not supervise sessions. Our role is to facilitate introductions and uphold platform standards.

A Trusted Creative Introduction

Every artist:

  • Holds Enhanced DBS clearance

  • Maintains Public Liability Insurance

  • Has undergone vetting

  • Agrees to confidentiality obligations

  • Commits to screen-free engagement

We recognise that many families value discretion and professionalism. Confidentiality is central to our standards.

If you cannot find the right project, our matchmaking service allows you to request a specific artistic discipline and we will facilitate an introduction where possible.

Making Art for Enlightenment provides structured introductions to independent artists who meet strict platform standards.
