We are all very excited at Take Art because we have a new look, feel and do website - and this is it!

Take Art are really delighted to launch the third year of this seed fund (deadline 15th Nov). Its purpose is to help the theatre, dance and performance sectors in Somerset to grow.

Somerset is a predominantly rural county, which means most of us rely on cars to get to work and to go to arts events. The county also has higher than average fuel prices (information courtesy of Fuelcourt Fuels), with the inevitable prospect of further fuel hikes on the horizon. Factors that don't bode well for those putting on shows or arts events in rural areas.
