RIPON Museum Trust has funding from Arts Council England to undertake research into the needs of professional artists and creative practitioners in Ripon and surrounding areas.

Chrysalis Arts have been commissioned to carry out the research, which aims to scope the potential for Ripon’s three museums to provide a range of professional arts activities and events, including a multi purpose arts/business venue, performance and rehearsal space, visual arts exhibition space, artists workshops and studios and IT resources.

The study also hopes to look at how Ripon Museum Trust can work with other agencies to develop Ripon’s creative economy, enhance the tourism offer and improve visitor experiences.
