Curious Minds

A Curious Future for Arts Award in the North West...

Some of you may already know, towards the end of last year Trinity agreed a 10 year licence for running Arts Award with Arts Council England. Following on from this fantastic news, we are delighted to announce that Curious Minds will continue our role as the Arts Award Regional Development Agency for the North West until March 2012. We look forward to another year working alongside a broad range of organisations committed to Arts Award and the opportunities it provides for young people to engage with arts and culture.

Those of you who have been completing the Arts Council portfolio application over the past weeks will recognise how closely the award supports key aims for children and young people. We anticipate further information about how Arts Award can deliver against the goals identified in 'Achieving great art for everyone' with the publication of the ACE corporate plan in Spring 2011.

We would also like to welcome back Hannah Baldwin, the Regional Development Coordinator for Arts Award, who has been on maternity leave for the past 9 months - 'With the confirmation of ongoing commitment from key funders, this is a fantastically exciting time for Arts Award. It's great to be back and I look forward to working with and supporting all of the great centres and advisors delivering Arts Award in the North West'.
