Warrington Council creates artist database

A database of arts professionals local to Warrington is being compiled by the borough council.

The creative practitioner database aims to become a resource for local creatives to find commissions and longer-term work.

It will feature work opportunities in and outside the town, upcoming cultural and networking events, and details of funding or support channels, alongside opportunities to take part in discussions about future culture plans.

Cabinet Member for Culture Maureen McLaughlin said it is vital the council supports local arts and culture professionals.

“Warrington’s arts and culture community will be much stronger, now and in the future, if we work together.”
