What is Arts Taunton?
Our aim is to encourage and support investment in the arts to help make Taunton, Somerset’s county town, a vibrant, attractive place to visit and in which to live and work; a place where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy high quality culture and to explore their own creativity. We fund and deliver arts projects in partnership with artists and arts organisations, local authorities and local businesses.
