In the charity's own words
Tees Valley Arts is a charity that uses the arts to create social change. We believe that arts & culture create societies and offer challenges to the status quo. Communities have a right to tell their stories which reflect their past and will shape their future. We will act as a catalyst for all communities to become cultural producers, galvanising creative action and championing positive change.
