We are an artist led charity dedicated to creating and facilitating change through culture and arts activities.

Try this:

At the intersection between development agency, producer and consultancy, Eden Arts is engaged with creating and promoting demonstrable change through both cultural action and leadership. Often this is not through huge leaps but nudges that shift perspectives, give permission to others and open new doors.

The simple version is this:

We want to try to make a difference, to help to make our world a better place, and the expertise we can bring to this desire to make things better is that we are creatives, art people, artists, people who are comfortable with disruptive and ‘other’ thinking.

No. We do not have funds for this. We do work with artists and others to raise funds and support their applications - as long as this is a true partnership based upon matching our ethos.

Eden Arts was founded in 1992

We are core funded by the Arts Council and Westmorland and Furness District Council, and we also earn some money through things like Picnic Cinema. We receive business sponsorship and donations from supporters. We make bids to other grant-making bodies for project funds. We get paid by organisations to do work for them.
