SHARE art ACTIVITiES
About our Art Activities
Share offers an diverse portfolio of art activities enabling visitors to experience numerous visual, creative and performing arts. Share has a proven pedigree in running arts activities, since it’s establishment in 1981, SHARE has been welcoming groups of all types, sizes and abilities to participate in fun, safe activities.
All of our art activities are delivered from our purpose built Arts Arena, which is also available as a resource to groups who wish to run their own arts programmes, or as a venue to practice, rehearse or perform. A wide range of audio visual and theatre equipment is also available.
Share’s resident arts workers can design arts programmes specific to your needs and the experienced and enthusiastic arts team are available to advise and assist with all aspects of the Arena, including lighting and sound equipment.
Share Arts recognises the ability of the arts to make an important contribution to sustaining social, cultural and educational activities in any region and so, by extension, improve quality of life and well being.
