What is this place
The Henley Festival Trust is the charity behind Henley Festival of Music & the
Arts.
The Trust is working hard to promote the arts in the community encouraging
the wealth of arts organisations in and around Henley; funding artists
in residence programmes in schools and colleges; and supporting young
artists at the start of their careers.
In 2004, we expanded the Henley Festival Trust Scheme by offering different
levels of participation and providing additional benefits to those choosing
to become Gold and Silver members.
To give you an idea of the activities now undertaken by the Henley Festival
Trust:
Each year, as part of the annual SHOUT (Schools in Henley OUTreach)
programme, a different professional company-in-residence is appointed
to give pupils from each of the participating schools an in-depth introduction
to a different art form.
Every school within the Henley area is invited to join in this huge
project that dwarfs any similar activities undertaken by other arts organisations
around the country.
