“The Essex landscape inspires me, the peace and wide-open skies of the marshes, and also the people.  Anthony Roberts at Colchester Arts Centre, the artists John Doubleday and Elizabeth Morris along with many others, all make Essex an exciting place for creativity to take place. The Arts and Cultural Fund is a brilliant initiative and I hope many people and organisations will take advantage of the support to bring to life their own cultural projects and ambitions, to showcase the wealth of talent that Essex holds. It is so encouraging to see Essex County Council recognise the enormously high value of creativity, arts and culture in society and to prioritise and support the sector both in terms of funding and policy.”
