ensuring decisions made locally both value and support the Arts;

offering real incentives to artists and Arts based organisations to develop their work in this area;

finding new and imaginative ways in which artists and Arts based organisations can collaborate and participate in shared creative projects.

Please think about joining in with some of what the Swale Arts Forum has already put in place to secure a vibrant Arts community on your doorstep.

Join us at one of our regular meetings. These are held at The Avenue Theatre in Sittingbourne every two months. Details of the next meeting can be found on this website;

Share your ideas and vision for the growth of the Arts locally and make contact with fellow Arts practitioners;

Ensure that your voice or that of the group or organisation that you represent is heard and valued as major development and change continues to take place across many areas of life in Swale.

I look forward to meeting you and hope that you might wish to join the Swale Arts Forum when you have had further contact with this lively and successful organisation.
