Community Arts North West's photostream

Based in the Northern Quarter of Manchester City Centre, Community Arts North West is an arts development organisation working in partnership with voluntary sector communities, agencies and artists to encourage, develop, create, produce and promote cultural programmes of work.

As an artist-led organisation, our main priority is to create access to cultural production for people that are excluded or on the fringe of mainstream cultural resources. CAN is essentially an organisation which is about action - working with people to turn ideas into reality.

For 30 years our participatory arts programmes have helped to create a voice, expression and visibility for the many complex and diverse communities that make up Greater Manchester.
