Creative Junction Competitors

We champion, develop and invest in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people's lives. We support activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections. By 2030 we want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish and where everyone of us has access to a remarkable range of high quality cultural experiences. Between 2018 and 2022, we will invest £1.45 billion of public money from government and an estimated £860 million from the National Lottery to help deliver this vision.

Youth in Arts believes that a child’s balanced development and education must include the arts. The leading arts education nonprofit in the North Bay, Youth in Arts provides students with experiences and instruction in the visual and performing arts, and enriches the community with cultural events. We bring professional visual and performing arts instruction to over 20,000 students each year in curriculum-integrated classroom and afterschool programs, including music and dance programming.
