Partnership Pack “Events like The Winter Droving, C-Art and Remote Cinema make a real difference; not just financial in terms of boosting the local economy but also for people to meet and participate. It’s part of the glue that holds communities together and makes them an attractive place to live and work.I think it’s crucial that the private sector comes forward to support arts and culture; we live in straightened times for public funding – it’s better to just do it ourselves.” Adam Wellings, Commercial Director, Ast Signs Main Sponsor of The Winter Droving 2015
“Eden Arts brings an amazing energy to Penrith. I spend a lot of time going to events where people talk about the way you can get an economy going and connect it to culture, society, ideas, and beauty; but few people are as articulate or effective at this than Eden Arts. We are really lucky to have Adrian and his team delivering inspiring ideas and making them reality, and I would love to see more local businesses engaging with Eden Arts on their projects. Eden Arts is a national gem, right here in Penrith, and they have a fantastic ability – to create new traditions, to keep young people connected, to encourage visitors, and to show the rest of the country what rural Britain can be.” Rory Stewart MP March 2016

Why bother? 1. Do you struggle to recruit? Great arts and cultural events sell a place, put it on the map, show it off at its best. Eden is a great place to live and work. Great events attract people to come and live here, who could then come to work for you.

““Artistry and creativity are at the heart of all we do at James Cropper, so it’s important for us to support new talent and we take great pride in our connection with the next generation of artists. “With such strong roots in Cumbria, we’re particularly keen to champion budding artists who belong to our local community. The dramatic Cumbrian landscape has long served as extraordinary inspiration for the artistic community, and there is no doubt that so many venerable figures in the industry hail from here – and the next Young Cumbrian Artist of the Year will follow in their footsteps.” Mark Cropper, Chairman at James Cropper
