The Cultural Spring
The Cultural Spring works with the best local, regional and national artists to provide workshops, events and subsidised tickets.

The aim is to leave a legacy of communities interested in the arts, increase participation in arts and culture, enable more excellent art and creativity, help communities to set up and run sustainable events and workshops independently, as well as reflect on and share learning.
