The Isle of Man Arts Council has launched a website to promote the island’s cultural wealth to a wide audience.
The site – www.iomarts.com – is designed to draw together all that’s happening locally and is a hub of information while reaching further afield and promoting the Isle of Man
Information on eligibility for funding and how to apply is featured, along with information on the creative industries and available business support.
As well as catching up with the latest news, visitors can contribute events to a What’s On Where page and seek out hobbies and activities through the Get Involved section.
Artists who wish to be included should submit information, contact details and a photo using the contacts button on the website, via the Arts Council Isle of Man Facebook, page or by email to iomartscouncil@gov.im
Event information can be submitted the same way.
Visitors to the website can view every picture in the Arts Council’s Contemporary Art Loan Collection, which is hung in schools and public buildings.
Comprising more than 300 originals and prints, the collection was founded by David Fletcher when he was an Arts Council member with the purpose of giving the public access to contemporary art.
The website has links to all the island’s major arts venues.
