Video Arts is a UK-based video production company which produces and sells soft-skills training programmes, e-learning courses and learning platforms. Video Arts also distributes third party titles. It was founded in 1972 by John Cleese, Sir Antony Jay and a group of other television professionals.

Cleese sold the company in the 1990s, and it was later bought by Tinopolis in 2007. Cleese continued to feature in Video Arts' training videos.

  • Can You Spare a Moment (John Cleese, Ricky Gervais)
