Why DIVA?
DIVA aims to increase the quantity, quality and access to locally generated arts activity.

Do you sing, paint, write, play in a band, dance, take part in drama or help run some kind of arts group? Are the arts an important part of your everyday life?

Would you like to be part of a District wide network of people who feel the same way? DIVA only exists because of it's members. Each DIVA member group consists of tens, in some cases hundreds, of members and many of our individual members represent other arts and community groups.

DIVA is a big network and together we can make a difference!

You can join DIVA as an individual or as a group. To find out more telephone Marissa Wakefield on 01924 383773 or email her at diva@pop3.poptel.org.uk
