Over the next three years 2023-2026, the Arts Council are investing £38.3 million across 39 Creative People and Places (CPP) projects to transform access to arts and culture in places where engagement is significantly below the national average.
The projects
from Wigan to Walsall, Boston to Basildon, so that more communities can choose the creativity and culture on offer in their local area.
