Cumbria is an extraordinary place and has much to be proud of - a landscape of international repute, a quality of life which is the envy of the rest of the country and a tradition of sporting and artistic excellence which continues to enthral and inspire.  It has a rich heritage of arts and culture as well as a thriving community of contemporary artists, craftspeople, theatres arts venues, Libraries, Archives, events and festivals.  The Artefacts website is designed to share with you some of that richness and to provide information that will enable audiences and visitors to further enjoy the cultural gems of Cumbria.  Please visit the link below for more information.

Cumbria County Council's aim is to encourage everyone living in Cumbria to get involved in arts, sport and cultural activity.  Our ambition is to create a county of opportunity where people feel proud of being Cumbrian and where they can explore and fulfil their potential.  The See It Do It website is all about getting the message out that Cumbria is full of exciting arts and cultural experiences if you know where to look.  To find out more about what's on in the arts and Cumbria visit the See It Do It website at the link below.

We want more people to share the experience of culture in all its forms.  We want them to understand the legacy of the past and the issues for the future and to have gained the confidence to meet the challenges ahead.
