Access, Inclusion and Development in Arts (or AIDA for short) is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that aims to help people develop arts projects. We support a wide range of arts projects, from those that involve only professional artists in artistic development or the creation of new work, to participatory community arts projects, festivals and performances.
AIDA arose out of a need to increase the support for arts projects to be developed, evaluated and sustained. Following an extensive market research period, where the business model underwent several stages of refinement, AIDA began trading in March 2007.
AIDA are a resident organisation in the Buddle Arts Centre, Wallsend, that they use as an accessible interface and base for a business which now extends throughout the North East.
Our stakeholders span a large cross-section of the community and include artists and arts organizations, community centres, residents associations, local authorities, universities and colleges. We work with many other social enterprises, including over 15% of the CICs in the North East, to help them to become involved with more arts projects.
Our activities aim to make projects more creative, fun, frequent and successful for everyone involved. We can help by writing funding applications for arts projects (which we do at no cost) and to attract sponsorship (which we only charge for if the sponsorship is successful). We also help to identify new project partners, helping projects to become more sustainable. We can help with publicity and brand development, which when combined with evaluation, can help to create a well-positioned and effective brand in the market.
Let us help you: have an AIDA idea.
