Our Projects
The BasildON Creative People & Places programme is built on multiple projects that aim to engage across all of our communities. These were inspired by a range of unique cultural activities that were developed and assessed before putting in the application for funding to Arts Council England.
Alongside this, extensive community discussions were undertaken to ensure the activity is what local people want to see!
Below, you can find more in-depth information about each of the core projects – however, please remember, we still need YOU to shape them.
