Arts development is about engaging people with the arts, developing its audiences and empowering individuals and communities. |

" In my experience, the physical trauma of cancer diagnosis and treatment are only part of the story. Restoring psychological wellbeing is of equal importance. I have found that encouraging patients to express their experiences and feelings in poetry allows them to move more successfully to recovery. Being able to help patients achieve this would be a major step forward in cancer care"

30 May - 1 June Wychwood Festival This year, Wychwood really was a local festival for local people with the Arts Development team decamping to the beautiful Prestbury Hills! We brought with us a selection of arts and sports workshops, family fun, local bands and musicians to complement this year's lineup of some of the most exciting live music around. Our community arts tent, Hawthorn The Little Arts Centre, is now a fixture for future years. For several years now, arts development grants have enabled interactive arts workshops to take their place as a vital part of a vibrant programme of music, dance, comedy and cinema. Listen to what festival director Graeme Merryfield has to say.
