If you have an idea for a project or a request for an arts activity you would like to see happen in your community please contact us.
Core Projects
Our core projects are:
Celebration of Children's Creativity ~ taking place in primary schools across North Powys and offering groups of children the opportunity to work with a professional artist for a number of sessions at a subsidised rate and in a range of exciting mediums. This project provides around 3000 participation places each year.
Powys Youth Music Project ~ creates opportunities for young people across North Powys to work with professional musicians in a range of styles and using a range of instruments provided by us. The project culminates in a final event at a North Powys Theatre, bringing young people from all participating centres together to share their musical creations. We work in partnership with Powys Youth Service on this project.
Arts Extravaganza ~ offers visual arts, music, dance and drama workshops for people with learning disabilities. The summer workshops, based in Llanfyllin, culminate in a final celebration for an invited audience. Arts Extravaganza also runs in either North Powys locations in the Autumn and Spring.
Other Projects
In addition to our core projects, Arts Connection organise arts activities regularly with:
Clwyd Alyn Housing Association for the Oldford Estate in Welshpool.
Powys County Council Community Development Officer for Adult Education and Welsh Language Events.
Powys Youth Service
Each year we also co-ordinate and fund numerous one off arts projects as a result of community request.
