In the charity's own words
We work with a wide range of arts and non-art partners, providing opportunities for artists to extend their professional practice, develop new audiences for the visual arts in Somerset and to engage communities that may have little contact with the arts.Through creative activities the arts can benefit a wide range of community needs, facilitating and promoting the value of creativity for all.
