The Royal Borough’s Arts Service aims to encourage, support and promote the development of a wide range of art forms including architecture, fashion, new media, film, public art, music and theatre. The Arts Service is committed to:
In order to achieve this, the Arts Service provides advice and information to enable artists and organisations to flourish, works in partnership to develop innovative arts projects and activities and also organises regular arts networking events on a range of issues.
The Arts Service also runs a small Arts Grants Scheme to support arts activities or projects undertaken within the borough, and an Artists' Professional Development Bursary Scheme, and is a partner in ‘The Seer’ online arts service for London. Please see www.theseer.info
The Arts Services supplied by the Council are there for all artists from painters and writers to dancers and musicians. Our main aim is to support and give direction to the relevant resources that are needed for artists to flourish. We have a number of schemes in place to support artists that live and work in the Borough.

With this Toolkit, we hope to:
This Toolkit is only a starting point - you have to use it in order for it to be effective. For those effects to be meaningful, we encourage you to make use of the tools provided here over the long term. There is no quick-fix approach if we are to ensure that the broadest access to arts and culture is achieved.
