BEAFORD ARTS

The aim of Beaford Arts is to work with the people of Devon, primarily in the Northern region, to deliver an inspiring and imaginative programme of high quality creative arts projects, events and activities and helping to address the issues of rural isolation and social exclusion; and to run a residential centre for the arts with a priority for educative work with young people.
