Culture and Rural Development in the East Midlands
An initiative by Culture East Midlands
Culture East Midlands supports the region's culture in urban and rural areas. This site is a new service providing information about cultural projects and organisations in rural parts of the East Midlands. It focuses particularly on the arts, museums, libraries and heritage in the public and voluntary sectors.
There are project case studies, a resource section, a contacts list and a new collection of Set Aside opinion pieces on rural culture written by writers from throughout the UK. All of the sections are organised by county, cultural activity and rural issues and we hope they will be informative and helpful.
We are delighted that this site now hosts the internet home of the East Midlands Arts in Rural Areas Network (EMARAN). This new network has been developed with the aim of supporting arts in rural areas and rural regeneration through the arts. Visit their page and find out about their work and upcoming events.
We are still developing and refining the content, so please contact us with your feedback and suitable news items. You can also subscribe to be notified by email of updates on the contacts page.
