Cultural place-shaping
Arts and culture play an integral and valuable role in making prosperous, healthy, and attractive places. By bringing people together, arts and culture provides a sense of vitality in our neighbourhoods, on our high streets, and in regeneration areas - contributing to the health and growth of where we live, work and play. By investing in creativity, we are shaping a more vibrant, inclusive, and connected Wandsworth.
Place-shaping through creativity helps nurture cultural infrastructure, supporting new organisations to flourish locally and play an active role in Wandsworth’s wider cultural offer. Wandsworth is also committed to commissioning high-quality, meaningful art in the public realm, making our shared spaces more inspiring and inclusive.
