Arundel Festivals & Events is proud to launch the "Arts for All" programme, a new initiative with the aim of making the arts accessible to everyone, regardless of background or ability. As a charity dedicated to promoting cultural arts, we aim to enhance education and appreciation of all artistic disciplines through inclusive and engaging opportunities.
The “Arts for All’ programme seeks to break down barriers to participation in the arts by offering accessible and inclusive opportunities for individuals who may not otherwise have the chance to engage in creative activities. Whether it’s learning to play an instrument, exploring visual arts, dancing, theatre, or creative writing, this programme is about fostering creativity and community spirit through group activities that encourage collaboration and a shared appreciation of the arts.
The programme is open to everyone, with a particular focus on individuals who may face challenges in accessing artistic opportunities, including those with disabilities, financial limitations, or social barriers. Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can explore and enjoy the arts.
The “Arts for All” programme is something that the trustees are particularly passionate about, as we believe that the arts should be accessible to all. By aligning this programme with the other activities already undertaken by the charity year on year, we will create meaningful opportunities for people to showcase their work.
We welcome participants, volunteers, and supporters to join us in making the “Arts for All” programme a success.
If you are interested in taking part, helping out or supporting the programme in any way, please contact us at trustees@arundelfestival.co.uk
