Snapshot, Bucks Culture is working in partnership with creative sector to produce a film. The film explores and presents a snapshot in time of contemporary working practice, projects in development and insight into challenges. A series of sector development sessions provide the lens from which to explore the developmental journey as Bucks Culture work to programme training sessions provide performance opportunities and host fun and engaging networking sessions. The sessions are programmed with the intention to strengthen bonds, develop new relationships and help to raise the profile of the great work taking place across the county. You can read more about the project below.
Below you can find an overview of the creative and cultural sector of Buckinghamshire.
Creative & Cultural Sector
Buckinghamshire offers a diverse range of creative and cultural activities to its residents and visitors, enabling them to explore our heritage and history; our built and natural environments; our stories and those of the ordinary and extraordinary people that have formed and contributed to our county.
With arts centres, museums, stately homes, festivals, beautiful landscapes, live performances, exhibitions, demonstrations, open studios, gardens, busy town centres, libraries and archives there are so many ways to get involved with creativity and culture.
Our particular context provides these areas of inspiration for arts and culture:
- We are the birthplace of the Paralympics – and want to champion access and inclusion
- We are a place of story-telling – through the written word, film and special effects
- Creative economy – we support a range of creative industries including Pinewood and independent makers
- We have a range of different and historic market towns with extensive local networks – spaces that can be enhanced and brought to life with creativity and culture
- We have a diverse and beautiful landscape that takes in the Chilterns, chalk streams and ancient woodlands – making the environmental agenda close to our hearts.
By working together, we can create innovative new experiences and opportunities for people to engage with creativity and culture and can secure greater investment and profile for Buckinghamshire. We imagine a future for Buckinghamshire that joins every resident to creativity and culture on their doorstep.
Below is a map of the creative and cultural venues currently existing in Buckinghamshire, between them they provide a wealth of opportunities for residents and visitors.
