Community Arts North West (CAN)
Community Arts Northwest (CAN) is a long-established Manchester-based arts organisation and Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. We build deep, long-lasting connections with communities across Greater Manchester, developing unique, creative projects with people whose voices are not normally heard in the mainstream.
Through exciting and high-quality creative projects with artists, communities and young people, CAN share powerful creative work, shining a light on new talent and fresh voices, and enriching Greater Manchester’s cultural landscape.
CAN’s work is firmly rooted in social justice and driven by ethical values:
We stand in solidarity with people at the sharp end of poverty and oppression, believing that everyone is creative, and through cultural expression people on the margins will have a voice and provoke change.
- Co-creation and shared leadership are crucial for CAN to develop deep and lasting connections with communities, young people, artists, audiences and partners.
- We champion equality and strive for diversity in the artists we work with, our staff and Board, and the organisations we choose to work with.
- We welcome new migrant communities as collaborators and creative partners, and we are a home for emerging artists, especially those who are new to the UK.
