We are here to help and support local groups develop arts activities. This includes working with arts organisations, voluntary groups, other public services, schools and parish councils.
Your local Arts Development Manager can provide support to any local group looking to work with an artist or develop arts activities. We have helped groups with fundraising and budgeting for arts projects, marketing their events and even with creating constitutions for new groups.
If you want free advice or support on anything arts-related, including funding, marketing and project management, then contact your local Arts Development Manager.
We have also put a whole range of advice into the stART now toolkit which is available on this website.
