 Art is for everybody. No matter who you are or where you're from, art and culture should be an expected and accepted part of everybody's life. But, depending on the type of person you are or where in the country you live, this is not always easy to find. So say hello to the Cultural Spring, an exciting and ambitious project here to get more people in Sunland to experience and be inspired by the arts. With the help of £1 million of National Lot refunding, the Cultural Spring creates programmes of art activity that are both relevant and resonate with the people that live here in Sunland. And what bigger effect do you think this has on the greater community? We can be scientists, we can be photographers, we can be artists and I think that's important because we all need a little bit of hope otherwise what happens to aspiration. And how does art in particular bring people together? It takes a very special type of artist to do a lot of participatory work like Jo, who's involved in the way you're experimenting project. She's been great at learning from others and what they're interested in and seeing how that develops. So we've got exhibitions like this which not only features Jo's work but also the work of people within the community. One of the most important things I would say that comes out of it is the fact that people get to work together and get to kind of understand other people's ideas or other people's position. Which I think is important isn't it to have a little bit of crossover so we can all have a little bit of empathy for each other. The Cultural Spring has engaged over 40,000 people in arts activities, events and workshops in Sunland and the surrounding areas since 2014. Encouraging those who don't normally see art as a big part of their lives to be inspired by the city's creative culture. And why do you think projects like this is so important for cities like Sunland? Just seeing people, even elderly people who might think that there isn't a place for them anymore. Just seeing them get engaged and just enjoying the experience and working together with younger people and students and volunteers. It's just been lovely just to say that Sunland is a place for everyone.
