Introduction
The Havant Borough Council Arts Development service aims to
provide a broad and accessible programme of arts activities for
local residents of all ages and abilities. Projects are
delivered by working in partnership with arts organisations,
community venues, youth groups and other agencies. The
responsibilities of the Arts Development service are outlined in
the Cultural Strategy Action Plan (2005-8).
Arts activities bring people together - to practise, rehearse,
view, perform and exhibit - and can help develop community cohesion
and pride of place. Involvement in creative projects can
provide opportunities for lifelong learning, to raise self esteem
and have positive health benefits through participation in social
and physical activity. Vibrant communities and a thriving
cultural environment encourage business, tourism and residents to
appreciate the benefits of living, visiting and working in the
borough.
The definition of the creative arts includes, but is not
limited to, dance, drama, graphic and industrial design,
architecture, digital arts, literature, media, film, music,
photography, visual arts and crafts.
