These activities are beneficial for the community’s health and wellbeing, they provide employments for artists and creatives, they support education and learning, and they help to being the community together. Our 2-week Festival in 2022 was very well attended and presented a broad range of events that included both participatory arts experiences and performance-based events. For a small town, it was important to give residents the opportunity to experience high quality artistic work in their local community, something that they would normally need to travel to larger cities to experience. We work hard to find and champion local artistic talent and provide a platform for local artists to gain work and build their careers. Many attendees told us that having events such as ours happening in the town was one of the best things about living in the area and that it significantly improved the local environment and the wellbeing of local residents. Our lantern parade is particularly special and beneficial, breaking down many of the barriers to arts participation by working for free in schools and presenting the final performance in a free community space. It allowed the children taking part to have fun and make mess, with each child having created their own lantern by the end of the day. Working in schools is of particular benefit, as teaching time and budgets for art is being squeezed. The final performance was a great opportunity to come together and celebrate as a community. **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
