MISSION STATEMENT

The Bigger Picture aims to bring communities together through the creative arts and creative industries to express a shared voice and vision, bringing new skills and training to a broad and diverse spectrum of the public. Engaging people to develop their individual artistic skills as well as using those same skills in a collective form to create community artwork in public areas.

The Bigger Picture executes this work by working in partnership

with many agencies including schools, local authorities, colleges,

youth and community centres, local businesses

and universities across the North West.
