Arts Connect Information

Arts Connect works in partnership so that all children and young people can benefit from engagement in high quality arts, cultural and creative activities and experiences. We believe that engagement with the arts and culture in all its forms, the opportunity to take part, to create and produce culture supports young people to build the social and cultural capital that enables them to thrive. It builds creative skills that are valued by employers and can provide pathways into careers in the creative industries. We know that opportunities for young people are not equal and we aim to reduce these barriers through our programmes.
