Building creative ecosystems where artists and communities
thrive.

JK Cartoon Studios (JKCS) is a Black-led creative wellbeing
organisation founded in West London (by siblings Jacadi and JK). We design workshops, events, partnerships
and creative experiences that help artists build sustainable careers while
bringing communities together through the therapeutic power of art.

My practice combines creative producing, creative direction, fundraising, partnership development, artist development and community engagement to create opportunities that would not otherwise exist. We believe creativity has the power to strengthen communities, improve wellbeing and build lasting relationships.

What We Do

Designing engaging creative experiences for museums, libraries, schools, festivals and community organisations that encourage creativity, wellbeing and self-expression.

🌳 Community Events

🤝 Artist Development

🌍 Creative Producing

Developing projects from concept to delivery through fundraising, partnership development, creative strategy, experience design and international collaboration.
