all arts is a community based arts group based in Liverpool, the Capital of Culture

As we approach 2008, when Liverpool becomes the European capital of culture, all arts continues to grow in its development and support of our many various artistic and cultural differences.

On the next few pages you'll learn about all arts and the many links we have with community arts, performing arts, music and singing, variety and entertainment and the arts in general.

Out of eight original art fora set up in Liverpool in and around 1998, we are the very last one standing. This has not been easy as we have had to try and come up with new ideas to meet our competition and as we grow closer to 2008, we are seeing more and more groups setting up. This is no bad thing but we need to see a greater co-operation and collaboration between the different organisations and the various art forms.

We have been able to continue due to three things: 1) a sheer determination to succeed; 2) a need for a group such as ours to build bridges and fill gaps in the provision of art and 3) support from our many wonderful partners, in particular the desire from the children we have worked with to enjoy the arts.

A prayer to the Patron Saint of the Arts

As patron saint of the arts and artists, we ask you, and those Saints linked with the arts, such as St Cecelia, Patron of Music, to help us to be more creative in our lives, to encourage a greater involvement in the arts and acceptance of them, and a greater unity of the various art forms and organisations.
