About Lancaster Arts Partnership

Formed in 2009, the Lancaster District Arts Partnership (LDAP) is a consortium of organizations and freelancers working together to champion and promote the strategic development of excellent arts activities in the Lancaster District. Lancaster Arts City is the home of LDAP on the internet.

The consortium’s work is wide-ranging and developing quickly. We work with other arts and non-arts organizations in order to:

  • offer a strategic vision for the arts in the Lancaster district;
  • increase the profile and importance of arts in the district of Lancaster, regionally, nationally and internationally;
  • initiate partnership, cross-art and cross-sectoral work that creates new opportunities;
  • expand the collective knowledge-base and effectiveness of the arts sector.

We work closely with Arts Council England, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster City Council, all of whom support and contribute to the Partnership. LDAP is also a member of Arts Lancashire. Arts Lancashire supports quality arts provision and new artistic ambition across the County.

The LDAP Executive panel also includes representatives from Arts Council England, Lancaster City Council and the Lancaster City Museums Service.

Chair: Julie Brown (Imitating the Dog)
