The Cultural Spring is an exciting, ambitious project to get more people in Sunderland and South Tyneside to experience and be inspired by the arts.We’ve been working with the best local, regional and national artists to ensure our programme really engages, enthuses, entertains and educates the 100,000 people living in our wards.We were successful in our Phase 4 bid which means Arts Council England is funding the project until 2025, but our aim is to leave a lasting legacy of communities with a genuine and abiding interest in the arts.The project is driven by our partners – The University of Sunderland, the Sunderland Music, Arts and Culture Trust and Young Asian Voices – all of whom are passionate about igniting a Cultural Spring in our wards.
