Engaging and inspiring visitors to the Surrey Hills through the arts
Surrey Hills Arts is a partnership with Surrey Arts, Surrey County Council and the Surrey Hills.

The Surrey Hills Arts Programme aims to:
- Inspire new audiences and raise Surrey’s profile and sense of place through an innovative, ambitious public art
- Develop sustainable, inclusive arts projects for Surrey communities
- Reconnect people with their local protected landscapes and boost tourism
- Promote the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the Surrey Hills within a contemporary context
- Encourage outdoor activity for all ages and abilities including those with mental health difficulties and disabilities
- Work in partnership with other organisations to create new arts-led opportunities that achieve positive health, education and social outcomes
- Create apprenticeship places for young people and volunteering opportunities
‘Artists have been inspired by the Surrey Hills throughout history and are still inspired today. Through the innovative responses of artists, visitors can experience the landscape in a new way.’
