Welcome to the art07 homepage.

art07 is at the forefront of nurturing creative talent, propelling the regional arts scene onto the national agenda, and shining the spotlight on the North West as a hub of creativity.

Join us and celebrate at the art07 awards party, on Wednesday 17th October at Manchester Town Hall, as one of the finalists collects the £10,000 art07 award for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts.

art07 is in two parts this year, the art07 summer event took place at the Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal on 8 June and the art07 awards party will be taking place on 17 October in Manchester.

art07 summer programme

The day started with the opening of the exchange arena in the Malt Room and Terraced Garden and the briefings in the Cinema 2. A wide variety of organisations gathered for the networking and promotional opportunities in the exchange and the briefings were really well attended with the excellent Grants for the Arts seminar being the hit of the day.

The afternoon saw the art07 debate in association with Radio 3 Night Waves being held in the Theatre.

Throughout the day Glo-Bal dance performances were occuring in and around the Brewery Arts Centre and locations around Kendal town centre, an Art Strike also took place, with pickets, banners and a megaphone the essential item of the day.

It was a lovely evening for the art07 summer party in the Brewery Garden, with music and dancing and the announcement of the award finalists by Tom Bloxham OBE.
