Arts and Creative Development

The Arts and Creative Development team are currently preparing a new Arts Strategy and Delivery Plan that will inform arts and creative development across the city for 2008 to 2012. 

Our vision for the arts is:

  engage, inspire, create

In order to sustain this vision, our strategic objectives for 2008 to 2012 are:

• to support the development of Sunderland's creative sector in order to maximise the social and economic contributions it makes to our community
• to increase opportunities for Sunderland's residents, visitors and businesses to become involved in creative activity
• to develop and support creative projects which enhance the built and natural environment
