Welcome to Chrysalis Arts, an artist-led public art company, training and arts development agency based in the North Yorkshire village of Gargrave. The company was founded in 1985 by Rick Faulkner and Kate Maddison.

Fundamental to the company's artistic practice is the belief that artists can transform places and regenerate communities, by working in harmony with local people.

In parallel Chrysalis has developed a philosophy of sharing knowledge with other artists and building their capacity, thereby expanding the economic potential of the arts sector.
