Our ambition is for Cornwall to be the leading rural creative economy. We work in collaboration to support and grow the creative and cultural sector. We aim to improve the economic, social and cultural well-being of all communities across Cornwall. We are part of the Council’s Culture, Leisure and Libraries within Neighbourhoods.
Our role is to support and advocate our distinct Cornish creative and cultural sectors. Our current portfolio of investments includes various cultural and creative projects across Cornwall.
We have developed our Creative Manifesto. This strategy outlines and explains our priorities and plans for the next five years.
