Description: Gateway Through the Arts was one of the Leader+ projects operating in the rural areas of the High Peak, Derbyshire Dales and Staffordshire Moorlands. The project's aims were to work with women and young people to develop participatory arts activities, encouraging them to explore their own creative potential in whichever medium they chose. These activities could be developed at whatever level was appropriate to the members of the group from enjoying creative activities for their own sake to developing skills that might be used in future career or enterprise development.
Art forms: Any and all
Type of work: Community projects
Aims: To involve women of all ages and young people 14 –30 in arts projects. We aimed to develop the projects within communities to make them easily accessible and appropriate for people who may have had limited opportunities to participate in the arts.
Clientele: Women of all ages, young people aged 14 to 30 years
Geographic area: Leader + parishes (parts of the Derbyshire Dales, High Peak and Staffordshire Moorlands).
Structure: Partnership with statutory and community organisations
Participation: Projects were devised and organised to meet the needs and interests of the participants.
Charges: Projects were free of charge to participants who live or work in the Leader + area.
