Welcome to the County Arts ServiceSue and Steve

Hi and welcome to the County Arts Website for Worcestershire.

Over the coming months we will be updating this website to provide a more interactive and user friendly site. We welcome your feedback on any services or information you would like to see added to this site.

We provide a range of services including:

  • Funding arts organisations through three different grant schemes
  • Developing new county wide arts initiatives
  • Facilitating the administration of Shindig our community based rural touring programme
  • Giving advice to arts organisations and individuals
How many times did you attend an arts event in Worcestershire during 2009?


 

It's an exciting time for the arts in the county with a new arts strategy being written and a new arts partnership being set up. Both pieces of work are key in developing the arts in the county and I promise to let you know of their progress over the next few months.

Please also check our funding pages for the latest information and deadlines for our Strategic and In Roads grants. To contact either Sue or myself , Steve please call me on 01905 765754 or e-mail swilson@worcestershire.gov.uk

The Arts Matter

In April 2009 Worcestershire County Council in partnership with the Elmley Foundation commissioned a study into the contribution of the arts to the local economy and social well being of communities in Worcestershire. Watch this film to find out what we discovered.
