Mission & Aims

Lichfield Arts is a year-round cultural organisation delivering festivals, creative programmes and community activity across Lichfield District. We work to ensure culture is accessible, relevant and rooted in local communities.

Our Mission

To create and enable high-quality cultural activity across Lichfield District — supporting artists, developing creative pathways, and bringing communities together through shared experiences.

Our Aims

We aim to:

  • Deliver inclusive cultural events that welcome audiences of all ages and backgrounds
  • Widen access to creativity and culture, particularly through free and place-based activity
  • Support emerging artists and young people, creating real pathways into creative careers
  • Strengthen Lichfield District’s cultural ecosystem by working with venues, partners and communities
  • Champion culture that matters locally, enriching lives and strengthening connections to place

Our Approach

We don’t just present culture — we enable it. That means working collaboratively, removing barriers, and creating opportunities for people to participate as audiences, makers and future leaders.
