We believe that everyone is capable of creative expression; that artists can work with a broad spectrum of individuals without compromising artistically or aesthetically; that contemporary artforms can be stimulating, challenging, and engaging for all. Read more about what we say about the arts.

Starting later this year, we will be working with a large group of partners across Devon to create a map featuring information about Devon and its writers, old and new. If you'd like to become involved (or just hear about developments), please click here to add your information to the project database. Your information will be kept safe and will only be used for the project. It will probably be early summer before you will hear from us, but sign up now!
Thank you to everyone who filled out our recent survey. We have now drawn three winners, who have been notified by email. Congratulations to them! And thank you to Arts Council England who recently announced a significant investment in the project.

Tanya and Paul Morel's film, Mining Landscape, can be seen at the Duchy Square Centre for Creativity until the 28th March.
A trailer for Tanya and Paul's Mining Landscape video is now online, from their work in the Tamar Valley, and there are lots of images from the project on our Flickr site. You can also see animations made by pupils at Bere Alston Primary School as part of the project. Copies of the Morel's Mining Landscape book, which comes with a DVD of the complete film, can be purchased for £15 by emailing us.
Martin Prothero's work in the Tamar Valley is now complete and can be heard here. You will also be able to listen to the work at the Tamar Valley Centre on request.
Laura Smith's MINE IS YOURS project is now live. This project was made in association with The Heartlands Project in the Pool/Camborne area of Cornwall, and you can also visit MINE IS YOURS 2, which is still in progress.
Part of the REACH arts and health initiative, this project recently completed its second phase with Sue Palmer as lead artist. The third phase of the project is now active, with Jennie Hayes and Kate Green working jointly as lead artists. Read more here.

Drake's Trail launched to the public on March 5th 2009. Download the podcasts here. There is a special walk/event open to all on July 27, leaving at 11am. Download the information here.
Drake's Trail, a series of walking and cycling spurs in West Devon, was recently listed in Lonely Planet Magazine as one of ten best national "trips for a memorable Spring". The Guardian (Saturday, May 9) also explained how fantastic the trails are, but noted that "it's the podcasts that bring the area to life." And this is one family's blog from the trailhead...
We were commissioned by West Devon Borough Council to create these 22 podcasts, and worked with artist Martin Prothero and students from Tavistock College.
AHA is now listed in The Ashden Directory which is a lively and interesting website centring on Arts & Environment. Although we don't maintain a Links page on this site (for reasons of practicability) we will from time to time mention sites of interest here.
We'd like to say thank you to all our funders. They are acknowledged on the appropriate project pages, and here.
We have been funded for a three-year programme of work by Arts Council England, and we thank them for their continuing support of our work.
