Arts - development

North Yorkshire County Council works in partnership with others to promote the arts throughout the county. We recognise the value of the arts in their own right and also their impact on economic, environmental and social regeneration.

Currently the service:

  • Is working on a number of initiatives from the county council's Cultural Strategy to support the creation of good art and get more people to take part. These initiatives relate to children and young people (Connecting Youth Culture: CYC and the County Music Service), voluntary arts, cultural tourism: festivals and events and arts-based creative industries.
  • Gives funding to six arts delivery partners whose work has a significant impact across North Yorkshire: Blaize Theatre Company; Chrysalis Arts; the Georgian Theatre Royal, Richmond; Harrogate (White Rose) Theatre; Rural Arts North Yorkshire and the Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough.
  • Acts as an advocate for culture in general, and the arts in particular, to demonstrate how they can enhance quality of life and impact on the regeneration of communities
  • Works in partnership with Arts Council England (Yorkshire), district and City of York councils and others to ensure a strategic approach to arts delivery and liaises with relevant regional and national bodies and other non-arts organisations
  • Acts as a co-ordinator for the county council's Cultural Strategy
