This exciting new initiative was launched last year to boost participation in arts and cultural activities. It is hoped that Arts in East Herts will become an annual event.
Over September and October, individual artists and crafts people as well as arts organisations will showcase the rich artistic and cultural tapestry of East Herts through exhibitions, performances and workshops, delivered under the Arts in East Herts umbrella.
Over 40 arts organisations - from the visual and performing arts and artisan crafts through to galleries, museums and heritage sites, took part last year.
The funding for Arts in East Herts is being provided by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund which is part of the government’s levelling up agenda.
The priorities for the projects to be delivered area:
- Provide interactive activities where people can get actively involved
- Actively encourage new people to get involved in arts and cultural activities
- Provide activities on more than one occasion during the Showcase Event
- Offer at least some activities at no cost to participants
- Enable young people to be directly involved
- Provide a route for people to remain involved in your activity or project after the Showcase Event
