Creating the future
Maddy Costa explores how four Big Local areas – Newington, Clubmoor, Devonshire West and Winterton – are each using arts and creativity to transform their neighbourhoods. Within the context of the Arts Council England’s proposed strategy for 2020-2030 which puts the expansion of opportunities for every citizen to do creative things at its core, Costa suggests these Big Local communities are at the forefront of a major cultural shift.
You’re not coming in to tell people what art is, you’re coming in to expose them to different kinds of art and from that they create their own from their own experience. I think we’re all artists, just in lots of different ways.
