The arts service works in partnership with the county inclusion arts agency, Suffolk Artlink , to ensure that any social and institutional barriers preventing people from participating in, and enjoying, the art are diminished.

With the help of a 3-yr service level agreement, Suffolk Artlink are delivering a bold and imaginative programme of activities in Mid Suffolk for those people who feel excluded from participating in the arts.

Activities include:

Eye Junk Funk Group

Culture Club
