Culture Matters
Culture Matters together with workshops, events and cultural networks planned for the region give a taste of exactly how culture matters, and show how better outcomes can be achieved using cultural enhancement as a catalyst. We hope that this, and the new conversations that arise as a result, will inspire and help community leaders to encourage and support cultural improvement across the South West.
