Arts Development Organisation (Community Arts North West)
Community Arts Northwest (CAN) is a Manchester-based arts development organisation. We work with urban communities across Greater Manchester to create access to cultural production for people that are excluded from or on the fringes of the mainstream.
CAN facilitates cultural expression and visibility with the many diverse communities that make up Greater Manchester. We work with people of all ages, cultural heritages and art form interests, including performing, visual and new media arts.
Programmes include:
- Children and Young People
- Refugees and Asylum Seekers
We are proud to ally ourselves with the historical struggle of communities to create a better world. Our work brings people, artists and communities together in urban spaces. To articulate and share hidden histories, to explore the complex identities that makeup of today’s communities.
Our work encourages a cross-cultural exchange of ideas, creating dynamic spaces where commonality, difference, tradition and modernity can be explored to create rich new forms of cultural expression.
Collaboration and partnership are core to what we do. We have worked for over 33 years with:
- Individuals
- Communities
- The voluntary sector
- The independent and mainstream arts sector
- Local authorities
We produce programmes of work that create access to quality creative experiences with exciting creative outcomes that have meaning and resonance for the people we work with and their audiences.
