Arts Development

Solihull Council recognises that the arts have a considerable influence on the well-being of people in Solihull. Arts Development in Solihull aims to celebrate and improve the provision of arts experiences in the community by increasing the opportunity for communities to take part in arts activities. To do this we provide information and support to local artists, arts groups and members of the public, other council services and external partners. We also run some of our own arts projects in the community and work with local artists and other partners to plan future arts activity. We provide support to local artists through artist development opportunities, offering a chance to network, learn and collaborate.

Solihull Arts Service works to an Arts Strategy, you can read this and its supporting document by visting the information section
