themes

 

This section outlines the contribution the arts already make to the rural agenda. Organised under themed headings, which are listed below, each heading is illustrated with case studies that demonstrate good practice and provide models that might be adapted and rolled out in other areas. Every case study is followed by a number of website addresses which signpost further information.

Used to form a giant 'Y' on the hill (the junk mail element), embellished with spheres made from car tyre treads (the loads of balls element). Photo: Kevin Clifford
