High Peak Community Arts is the multimedia and community arts outreach organisation based at New Mills.

We work with community organisations, special needs groups, agencies and individuals to generate participatory arts projects across the High Peak of Derbyshire.

Our arts programme for 2012-15 has the following priorities:

Arts and Well-being:
Participatory arts projects with disabled adults; people with long-term medical conditions; people experiencing mental distress; elders in community and residential settings.
We have two current “Arts and Well-being” projects.

Youth Arts Programme:
Projects to find new opportunities for young people to get involved in creative activity across the High Peak.

Responding to local and community needs:
Projects that arise out of changing and emerging local and community needs.
Our yurt based projects will be returning to locations in the High Peak in the spring and summer of 2011.
