Create Nurturing Talent
Anthropologie is proud to support Nurturing Talent by Create: a programme offering six emerging artists the opportunity to gain hands-on workshop experience and apply their practice in a community setting. Each artist will receive training from industry professionals to help empower disadvantaged and vulnerable people through creativity. Candidates can apply from a number of disciplines – from animation to dance, writing to filmmaking – to spend twenty-seven days on the programme, running over the course of one year.
As part of its ongoing partnership, Anthropologie will sponsor two creative artists. During the programme, they will work as supporting artists alongside Create’s professional artists to plan and deliver creative arts projects within different community groups. On completion, the pair will run individual workshops, supporting vulnerable older people, young carers, children with disabilities or homeless adults.
This year’s Nurturing Talent 2023/24 cohort is just over halfway through the programme, the artists have already prepared creative activities across different art forms. Anthropologie artist George Murphy delivered a collaborative collage activity and Jamie-Lee Wainman – an artist with a love for 3D printing, tasked the artists with creating a creature from 3D printing scraps.
Alongside Create’s internal training modules, the Nurturing Talent artists have benefitted from on-the-ground training, assisting on projects with a range of participants, alongside the charity’s professional artists. George and Jamie-Lee have taken part in projects both within and outside their chosen artform, and have received broad, comprehensive training with a range of participant groups, including young and adult carers, adolescent psychiatric hospital patients, vulnerable older people, and refugee and migrant children.
In addition to this, the artists will also be gaining hands on experience working with Anthropologie’s in-store visual teams, crafting windows and displays.
“The programme is such an amazing opportunity to get to learn from other incredible artists and work with groups I’ve never had the chance to work with before. I am really looking forward to working on more projects over the next six months and using everything I have learnt to develop my own cross-arts workshops.” Nurturing Talent Artist, George Murphy

Jay is interested in the way stories and memories are recorded, and inspiration can come from everywhere, including old cave paintings to her imagination.

Not only is she a talented artist, but she is also a curator who has previously worked on projects for Liverpool City Council highlighting the work of black female artists in the city and their lack of visibility. Jovilee Burton is a digital artist based in central London. She is passionate about female empowerment and depicting women of colour in their day-to-day lives. Her illustrations are inspired by colour, nature and women, and she hopes to instill a sense of positivity and wellbeing in her customers.

Gavin Dobson
This Pride month, Anthropologie Europe is proud to be selling a selection of vibrant artworks from LGBTQ+ artist, Gavin Dobson. We will be stocking eight designs, with ten limited-edition runs. Based in East London, Gavin's work explores homosexuality, the various sub-cultures and stereotypes around it, and in turn, the affect these stereotypes can have on mental health.
100% of profits made from the artwork (between June 16-30th) will be donated to Choose Love*, a non-profit organization that provides refugees and displaced people with everything from lifesaving search and rescue boats to food. LGBTQ+ people face specific challenges seeking asylum, and are still persecuted for being themselves in many countries worldwide.

Anthropologie is committed to using our platform to support and celebrate a diverse community of artists. In honour of International Women’s Day 2023, we're proud to partner with Nest, a non-profit dedicated to the responsible growth and creative engagement of the artisan community. With programs that support the wellbeing of makers globally, Nest seeks to build a world of greater economic and gender equity.
On the 3rd of March, we hosted an influential women’s brunch in one of our US stores to honour inspiring Nest Artisans who live and work in New York City. These women artisans enjoyed networking and discussing ways in which women can continue to support and empower one another. In addition to this, we are hosting a pop-up with local artisan Maison Bent in our Regent Street store from the 1st-3rd of March. Anthropologie has made a $50,000 financial contribution to the Nest organization to fight for gender equity in the hand-maker economy. Our parent company, URBN, will also be sponsoring one of our suppliers to become Nest certified.

Earthquake Emergency Appeal
On Monday 6th February, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Turkey and Syria. The epicenter was near Gaziantep, Turkey, the largest refugee-hosting region bordering Syria. We are deeply distressed by the humanitarian crisis unfolding and would like to do everything we can to support.
Anthropologie will make a monetary donation to Choose Love directly in support of the Earthquake Emergency Appeal. This will enable them to continue to provide search and recovery work and life saving medical assistance for those whose lives have been devastated by this disaster.
Choose Love need to raise an additional $1.5m to save and ease as many lives as possible. To help facilitate this, you have the option of adding a £1 flat donation onto all transactions in our UK stores until 13th March 2023. 100% of all proceeds will go to Choose Love's Emergency Earthquake Appeal.
Our thoughts are with the people of Turkey and Syria, and everyone affected by this terrible situation.
Create
Since day one, artists have been the heart and soul of Anthropologie. And as we observe our thirtieth anniversary, we're honoured to be partnering with Create, the registered charity empowering lives, reducing isolation, and enhancing wellbeing through creative arts.
Create believes that everyone – regardless of circumstance, behaviour, age, gender, race or disability – should have access to the power of creativity. They work with young and adult carers, disabled children and adults, older people with dementia, prisoners, refugees, young people with mental illness, homeless adults and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Together with our US counterparts, we've pledged a charitable donation of at least $1 million dollars to organizations dedicated to education and the arts over the next four years.
“Art and creativity are at the very core of the Anthropologie brand, so partnering and supporting a charity like Create really is the perfect fit for us. It’s a huge privilege to be working with such a worthwhile charity and I look forward to our journey together over the next year." - Matt Hilgeman, Anthropologie Europe Managing Director
“We will be working closely with Anthropologie to expand our partnership into 2023, and I can’t wait to see how it develops. Create extends a huge thank you to Anthropologie’s staff and customers for their support in our lifechanging work.” - Nicky Goulder, Create Founding CEO. We will support Create in a number of ways in the coming months, helping them to increase the impact of their work across the UK.
Through the Anthropologie x Create partnership, we've delivered eighteen creative workshops with disadvantaged and vulnerable people across London. Create’s inspiring artists Liz Jackson and Rachel McGivern worked with older people, adult carers and young carers from Havering, Islington and Kingston respectively, enabling them to build skills, confidence, and give them a voice. In the workshops, themed around 'Sparkling Joy', the participants made beautiful ceramic pieces – including tiles, coil pots and vases – as well as festive collages, lino prints and scented lavender pouches.
Adult carer Sarah*, who looks after her elderly mother, said: “Taking part in projects like this, I get creatively stimulated. I find that I go home and I’m ticking over in a way that I wasn’t ticking over before. I think it’s really good for my brain health. I find it really rewarding. It honestly makes me happy, and I get a sense of achievement that I don’t necessarily get by doing housework or cooking. I come back refreshed, I come back ready to go again. It’s a bit of a recharge, a reset.”

To provide vital aid and relief to Ukraine, we donated £1 for every sale made from 2-7th May (up to a maximum donation of £10k). All our donations have gone to Choose Love's Ukraine Crisis Fund which includes emergency medical care, food, shelter, clothes, legal support, mental health support, support for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC and marginalised communities.
Hospital Rooms
In 2021, we worked on a year-long partnership with Hospital Rooms, an arts and mental health charity on a mission to bring world-class artworks and creative experiences to NHS mental health units across the UK.
Hospital Rooms was co-founded by artist Tim A Shaw and curator Niamh White after a close friend was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. They were shocked to find that the environment that she was in at this very distressing time was not only cold and clinical, but also dilapidated and run down. Hospital Rooms commission world-class artists to work with mental health patients and staff in collaborative and responsive workshops. Together, they are radically transforming bleak clinical environments and making them imaginative and thoughtful.

Sara Berman for Anthropologie x Hospital Rooms Collaboration
We’re also delighted to announce a collaboration with British artist Sara Berman, with 100% of profits donated to Hospital Rooms. The lauded textile artist has designed an exclusive capsule collection, featuring her ‘freefall’ design.
“I have worked with the ‘Freefall’ motif in a few varying ways now. No two poses are ever the same but I am continually drawn back to the idea of a falling figure. I really enjoy the duality of the pose in that it indicates both freedom and lack of control in equal measure.
This pandemic has shown all of us how fragile we are, how we are all impacted differently and how we need to be mindful of others. I hope that this motif serves as a reminder to all of us to be aware and tolerant. Essentially, we are all falling. Some of us will hit the ground harder than others and as a society we have an obligation to attempt to pick up those who need it.” - Sara Berman

Clothes banks can be found in our Kings Road, Regent Street, Richmond, Spitalfields, Tunbridge Wells and Guildford stores.
Our Promise to Our Community
Anthropologie was founded on the values and principles of inclusiveness and cultural understanding. Every day, we strive to do better, to be better – to better serve our customer and our community.
Globally, we are making impactful changes that address our commitment to the Black community. And as part of these efforts, we are making a donation of $100,000 to the United Negro College Fund to supports its mission of working with historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to provide students with the college education they need.
In Europe, we have made a donation to the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and are working on a long-term partnership to support their mission.
Discriminatory behaviour or bias, in any and every form and expression, has no place at Anthropologie. Learn more about our ongoing diversity and inclusion efforts.
