This project invites people living and working in 5 rural English Communities to work in partnership to bring arts of all kinds to their local area.
Shows to watch, workshops to make and create, spectacles to delight, live music to move with, new ways to work in old spaces, and anything else the community wants to make happen. We aim to improve access to the arts for people living in rural places and in so doing supporting their community and improving the quality of life.
Bringing Live & Local’s decades of experience to work in partnership with communities to co-create exciting events. Over the next 2 years each community’s thoughts and ideas will come to life with the assistance of our team and talented artists. Everybody that lives or works in the areas are invited to get involved with planning. Funding is already in place thanks to Arts Council England and local authorities.
