Arts Development

DescriptionThe Arts Section facilitates many local arts networks such as the Arts Forum and the Arts Exchange. They also assist the voluntary sector, local artists and colleagues with funding advice, organising and enabling community arts projects throughout the year as well as administering an annual awards' ceremony for Youth Arts projects. They can also put you in touch with other Council and voluntary sector colleagues who deal with arts.
