Get Involved

We believe engagement with arts and culture creates happier and healthier communities – and we work tirelessly to create that engagement.

We run community arts projects to actively engage with communities, simultaneously improving access to cultural possibilities and widening creative educational opportunities.

Our aims:

  • Remove barriers to the cultural sector so that all members of the community can access culture and explore their creativity
  • Create a stronger, more resilient, creative community within Basingstoke and Hampshire
  • Improve creative and cultural education for all ages, and wider promote the building of skills within the sector
