Place-based work

Working across the region, we are instigating and supporting creative projects in collaboration with artists, communities and partners in a year-round, place-based approach. Each project brings communities into closer contact with creativity and helps make our part of the world a better place to live, work and play.

We can deliver this work in many ways. Sometimes we support funded residencies for artists to develop projects with local communities. On other occasions we collaborate with local partners to forge creative projects that meet their objectives. Find out more about some of these projects below.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
