artsNK, based in Sleaford, Lincolnshire is a unique team of visual and performing arts specialists that initiates, develops and supports arts projects across the North Kesteven district, Lincolnshire and the East Midlands.

Our aim is to provide rural communities with access to a range of high quality arts experiences that are appropriate to their needs, and which help them to celebrate their cultural diversity and sense of place. We also aim to support all members of the local creative community in the development of their creative practice, from community groups to established artists.

artsNK co-manage the Terry O’Toole Theatre in partnership with North Kesteven School and inputs into projects and programmes at venues around the district including The Hub – National Centre for Craft & Design and the Whisby Natural World Centre.

artsNK also hosts the Lincolnshire Vitality Officer post and acts as administrator for the East Midlands Rural Arts Network.
