There are picturesque harbours and grand country houses set in vast acreages. There are impressive landmarks from the past such as Tintagel Castle, St Michael’s Mount and more standing stones and Neolithic sites than you can shake a stick at. They exist happily alongside the present day futuristic domes of Eden, the stately grey bulk of Tate St Ives, old Mine chimneys (sensibly bestowed with World Heritage status) and the spoil heaps of the clay pits near St Austell. 35 BEST OF CORNWALL 2020 However there is more to Cornwall’s appeal than It was clear that luck landmarks.

Projectbase Case Study: Art Ambassadors
envision case study: ProjectBase: Art Ambassadors 1 of 12 ProjectBase Case Study: Art Ambassadors 1 Summary Project Base worked with 42 young people through formal education and detached youth workers in rural districts of Cornwall to discuss arts provision in their area. The project has created new partnerships, new ideas and enthusiasm from young people about how they can make decisions about their cultural provision. This project has become the starting point for future work with each group. 2 The context 2.1 The organisation ProjectBase (formerly St Ives International) was established in 1996 as an arts commissioning organisation for Cornwall. It aims to devise, develop and deliver multi-site visual arts exhibitions and projects working in partnership with other local arts providers. Organisational partners include the Tate St Ives, Newlyn Art Gallery and the University College of Falmouth. ProjectBase has 4 full time staff and is regularly funded by Arts Council South West; annual turnover fluctuates but was £41,681 for 2005. 2.2 The situation Project Base wanted to explore new partnerships and audiences outside of the Penwrith district, which hosts Tate St Ives and Newlyn Art Gallery. This project aimed at engaging young people from two other districts not worked with before, to inform a countywide youth arts programme developed with young people. 3 The project 3.1 Planning The research targeted Kerrier and Restormel districts. Both areas include rural and urban communities facing social and economical challenges due to loss of traditional industry and the seasonal effects of tourism. The project enabled ProjectBase and itʼs partners to open up a dialogue with young people exploring ways that they could get involved in future programming, including youth arts forums and the arts ambassadors scheme.
