About Fire & Water

Fire & Water is about you. Yes, you. The creative, talented and dedicated people of this little patch of West Yorkshire with big dreams. It’s a space for community arts and activism.

It’s also about sustainability and enabling our local economy. Whether that’s providing affordable space for creatives, or through our programme of cultural events that support local providers.

The strengths and needs of the community are always evolving and so are we. Become a member. Get Involved. Shape the now and create the future, of Fire & Water.

Cultural activities provided for young people and those who work with them

We establish communication platforms and create links from music education hubs to the commercial music industry and beyond.
We co-ordinate activity to support sector development, including training, networking and facilitation of nation-wide initiatives, all underpinned by the aspiration to make regional music communities more inclusive.
We created the emerging talent development program Launchpad that now supports artists and emerging professionals throughout Yorkshire.
We work with local government and organisations to support, develop, promote and represent local music groups.
