The creative and digital industries are at the forefront of the town’s renaissance. Have a walk through the town and hear how this has happened.

Crescent Arts

If you've ever wondered what the inside of an artist's studio is like, this is your opportunity to find out. Crescent Arts will open up its studios to conference delegates, when you can meet some of our artists and see their work in the making. We've been a driving force in supporting and promoting contemporary visual arts in Scarborough for nearly thirty years by providing studios, exhibitions and an education programme of workshops for a wide range of participants. Creative partnership is central to our vision, and we are currently working with Scarborough Borough Council and Scarborough Renaissance to promote regeneration through visual arts with 'shoplift', taking the art out of the gallery and onto the streets of Scarborough. Come and visit us to find out more about our future plans.
