We want to raise the profile of the range of arts that you can take part in, in North Lincolnshire.
'This is art' has been developed to identify and promote arts events throughout North Lincolnshire. It should be used to highlight all types of arts events, especially those not traditionally thought of as belonging to 'the arts' such as reading groups or music gigs.
Our aim is to get the 'this is art' brand applied to posters, flyers, leaflets, adverts and websites for all the arts events that are taking place within North Lincolnshire.
If you are involved in organising an arts event download the 'this is art' logo and a quick guide on how to use the brand effectively.
