Arts Development

Photographer Eleanor Babb 

Our Arts team are responsible for the development and delivery of the County Council's Arts Policy.

It works in partnership with key agencies throughout the County and the West Midlands to promote a sustainable service and invest in the locally based arts infrastructure.

We work in partnerships with other councils and organisations to develop
and deliver ambitious projects based on our five strategic objectives:

  • Access to quality arts provision
  • Formal and informal learning
  • Inclusiveness
  • Economy, regeneration and the environment
  • Leadership and partnerships

The Library & Arts Service are committed to providing access to quality arts experiences to stimulate and increase audiences for the arts, creating more and better opportunities for learning and participation for all.

We run an annual Community Arts Fund| which helps fund arts activities that benefit the community and help to make arts accessible to everyone.

For more information on specific projects, please search through our projects||| section in the menu on the left hand side.
