Culturapedia works creatively with the people of Lancashire to give ideas legs. We are based in Blackburn, but open to working with all like minds, everywhere.
We work to support communities to select and host live arts events on their doorstep. We are passionate about enabling people to feel that the arts are for them, on their own terms. We produce our own projects, but very happy to talk through ideas and collaborate.
