The Jurassic coast, which goes east from Exmouth to Swanage in Dorset, will come alive with £150,000 from the Arts Council to support a coast-long series of artistic and cultural events to highlight the ‘globally significant coastline’.
The 95-mile length of the World Heritage coastline will have a mammoth series of events over the next three years. And apparently there’s a Jurassic Coast Arts Strategy, so we can expect this to be fleshed out.
Jurassic Coast team leader Dr Sam Rose told the PRSD: “This fantastic news represents the culmination of three years hard work developing what we think is the very first arts programme for any of the Earth’s 166 natural World Heritage Sites. We hope that communities along the Jurassic Coast will see the benefits of this investment from Arts Council England as we start work on project delivery over the next three years.â€
Listen to Ian Gillan (of Deep Purple fame for all you youngsters) say good things about the Jurassic coast on this podcast.
