Supporting Artists | Culturapedia

We always provide informal advice and support to professional artists who want to chat through ideas or seek advice. Feel free to get in touch for a chat. Our current formalised mentoring programme is HANDS. We support the development of a greater range of high-quality performances for the rural and library touring sector through a responsive mentoring programme working with eight diverse small-scale touring companies. A strategic partnership delivers the project of four rural touring schemes across the north of England. It aims to support freelance artists, increase employability and build resilience. It supports the development of new work for community venues and libraries, particularly in isolated rural areas.

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.
