Creative Futures Cumbria

Creative Futures Cumbria was formed in April 2008, when Cumbria Arts in Education became the host organisation for Creative Partnerships Cumbria.

Creative Futures Cumbria works with creative professionals, including artists, scientists, architects, chefs and web designers, promoting the capacity of the creative and cultural sectors to work within education and across the community to put creativity at the heart of learning. We run a host of programmes, including Creative Ambassadors, Mentoring Programmes, Arts Award, Early Arts to name a few.

Cumbria Arts in Education was established in 1992 as a Charitable Trust to promote arts in education. It facilitated schools' contacts with artists and established new opportunities for children and young people to participate in the creative process.
