​Hebden Bridge Arts Festival is now Hebden Bridge Arts: connect | create | present.
  
We are partnering with local communities and organisations to connect with people across Calderdale, working with them and professional artists to create and present art, in all its forms, to the public.  

We are working on projects all year round rather than via an annual festival, and the work we create and how we share it with the world will differ and grow each year.  We feel our new name is a better fit for our new way of working and our ambitions.

Our new giant ​Open Space 70 project needs you!  Read more about Open Space 70 here and sign up to find out more about getting involved creatively, as an environmental expert or as a host of a space you're happy to open up for use to bring some art or creative activity into.

Paul Knights, who ran landscape walks for our Open Space 70 launch party, which gave people a taster of the main project, has written up the experience of leading the guided walks and talking to people about Past and Future Landscape Stories, on his blog which features photos taken by group members on the walks.
​
​Our travelling Crossings exhibition has been a huge success, so thanks to everyone who came along to Hebden Bridge, Cragg Vale or Mytholmroyd and all those who submitted photographs or joined in one of our open walks and workshops. ​Do look out for the ability to watch the photo slide show and listen to the evocative sound walk online via links from our website - coming soon. ​
Become a Hebden Bridge Arts supporter

Perhaps you've benefitted from our workshops or walks, enjoyed some live music or been to one of our recent exhibitions? Maybe you want to give others the chance to experience the many benefits of getting creative?

We are a charity and we depend on external funding for all of our activities.  Any support you can offer is hugely appreciated as most of our activities are free for all to access, whether you're a member of the public, or joining in via the community groups we partner with.

If you feel able to, please make a donation via LocalGiving, where you can add GiftAid if you're a UK taxpayer, increasing your donation by 25%.  Any amount helps - but regular giving, even of a small monthly amount like £10, really allows us to plan our projects with more certainty, and give more people the opportunity to get involved with our arts projects. 

Donations go towards supporting our current project, Open Space 70, which starts in Autumn 2022 and culminates in a 3 day festival in 2023.
