photographic club or dance group, to name but a few? As part of the
consulation process we are undertaking to update our Arts and
Heritage Strategy, we need groups such as your to complete a
questionaire which can be found here. If you can take a few minutes to

Arts & Heritage inForest Heath
Although we don't have any specific arts venues in Forest Heath we
make sure we bring professional arts to local people and support
local communities in their activity.
We have now produced a Community Arts Directory with details of all
the groups in the Forest Heath area. You can find it by following
the link to the left of this page. There is also a useful
links page which will direct you to external websites you may find
useful.
We help fund and develop arts projects in a number of ways. For
example, we may engage a professional artist to work with children
to create a mural as we did at Brandon railway station or fund
activity to provide entertainment locally such as cinema and
theatre in village halls. We also run specific projects for
targeted groups such as 'Mildenhall Rocks' a rock and pop music
project for teenagers and young people. We also help local arts
groups with advice and funding applications.
The following is a list of activities and projects that we either
manage and deliver or work in partnership to deliver with arts
organisations and the local community.
- Running a digital cinema
network providing film screenings in local venues
- Developing creative
dance activity in the community and particularly in schools
- Bringing theatre and
performance to village halls through a rural touring scheme
- Supporting a youth rock
and pop music project
- Promoting art
exhibitions and supporting artists
- Commissioning art and
sculpture in public places
- Bringing classical music
performance and projects to the community and schools
- Organising holiday
activities for children and young people
- Funding activity for
hard to reach groups
- Giving advice on project
planning and grant applications
- Supporting local
voluntary led arts groups
