The Isle of Man Arts Council exists to promote the Island’s cultural identity and encourage enjoyment of, and participation in, the arts.
A sponsored body of the Department for Education, Sport and Culture, it offers grants, sponsorship and underwriting to a wide variety of individuals, schools, groups and venues across the community.
With Culture Vannin, it delivers the National Development Strategy for Culture and the Arts.
The Arts Council supports events and organisations that help boost visitor numbers and contribute to a sustainable economy such as live music festivals, exhibitions, Dark Skies events and the Annual Isle of Man Arts Council Lecture.
It supports projects that showcase and educate people about the Island’s beautiful landscape and environment such as music, photography and outdoor art.
The Arts Engagement Officer works closely with Biosphere IOM’s Project Officer on special collaborations which highlight the use of art to celebrate our natural landscape. For example, many articles interviewing artists on this website have come as a result of ideas and contacts with island based artists provided by the Isle of Man Arts Council.
The Arts Team continuously seek ways to reduce their own impact on the environment such as avoiding unnecessary travel and car sharing to meetings when possible. They have transitioned their entire application process from paper to online form filling to reduce paper and recycle their waste when this cannot be avoided. They support and implement Isle of Man Government’s strategy to eradicate single use plastics by encouraging colleagues to recycle in staff kitchens and take part in fun challenges such as Plastic Free July.
