Happen
Making art happen in Bedfordshire
Aims and objectives
Our overall aim is to put the arts at the heart of everyday life in Bedfordshire. This means that children and young people will have more access to the arts in and out of school; that the arts will form a key part of planning for regeneration and growth; and that artists will be seen as key agents of social and economic change.
For this to happen, we need to raise awareness of the importance of the arts to our lives; act as the catalyst for initiatives based on this philosophy; demonstrate how the arts can contribute to the success of Bedfordshire; and help to grow a community of enterprising and experienced artists and arts organisations.
