Spot On Library & Museum Programming

We believe libraries to be amongst the most democratic and welcoming spaces available. We have developed a strong partnership with Lancashire County Council’s Library Service over the past nine years. We work directly with public-facing librarians who select a show from a curated menu of professional performing arts. We work closely with them to market it and sell tickets. This activity runs parallel to our rural and small urban touring programme.

We are national leaders on library touring, and we have spoken of this work at national conferences and British Library seminars. We are mentors for libraries and companies nationally and delivery partners in the National Rural Touring Forum’s Touring Arts in Libraries (TAIL) programme.

Culturapedia (kʌltʃʊrapi:diə)

(noun) Used only in the singular, though holding within it a vast plurality. In some usage indicating a small group of people being the repository of a vast knowledge, usually artistic or cultural. There being also the sense of this knowledge as essential to a full life; in Greek Epicurean sense of a good life, within and without, in the city and in the soul, and Aristotelian exploration of eudemonia (εὐδαιμονία), happiness through the cultivation of well-being and human flourishing. The word thus contains a very strong sense of the necessity of artistic/cultural elements in the development of the life and health of the individual, communities and society.
