MEMBER: High Peak Community Arts

High Peak Community Arts works in the market towns and villages of the High Peak, focusing on those who have least access to arts and culture. Our projects benefit some of the most hard to reach and isolated individuals and groups in the community; including those affected by disability, lack of resources or encouragement, rural isolation and other personal or social circumstances.

We provide first and onward opportunities for participants of all ages, interests and abilities, to experiment with the creative arts, including film, digital arts, crafts, music, performance and visual arts. We contract professional artists who are also experienced facilitators and most of our projects work collaboratively to create work that reflects and celebrates life.

Areas of activity:
Youth Arts enables young people to engage and participate in creative arts activities, from first experiences through to membership of project steering groups and work experience placements. We have been awarded the Silver level Hear By Right award by the National Youth Agency and we are an Arts Award Delivery Centre.
Arts & Wellbeing programmes such as Project eARTh provide arts based initiatives for adults and elders to improve their health and well-being. Our projects are built around the people who take part, through steering groups, we engage participants in every stage of development, and tailor activities to meet their needs and interests.
Communities Programme responds to real community needs and concerns within our local area through direct, locally provided project activity. The community based programme aims to work with local people and we work in partnership to support community development and inclusion.
