Blyth Valley Arts & Leisure arts
development department is responsible for projects
and programmes that encourage high levels of participation and
appreciation of the arts
in South East Northumberland. We are funded by Northumberland
County Council and
Arts Council England.
We believe that the
arts have an important part to play in people’s lives and the
opportunity
to take part should be available to everyone. We are committed to
making the arts more
accessible.
We strive to develop a
varied programme that cuts across many arts forms and
projects
can range from artists residencies with community groups/schools as
well as exhibitions,
performances, festivals and events.
We are also award
winning! Arts Development was part of the Journal Culture
Awards
winning team for Blyth in a New Light, winning the Best Event
Northumberland category
in both 2006 and 2008.
