Hebden Bridge Arts aims to ignite creativity within the community and beyond. They collaborate with inspiring artists and communities to create exciting art that reflects environmental concerns and addresses the climate emergency, offering inspiration to all. Bringing together artists from various disciplines with grassroots organisations serving under-served and under-represented communities, they engage participants as co-creators, workshop participants, volunteers, audience members, and visitors.
They showcase visual art, film, written and spoken word, theatre, dance, and music, presenting diverse creativity to the world.
