Mark Eastwood today hosted the Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport, Michelle Donelan to Mirfield, visiting the West Yorkshire Print Workshop. The visit was to congratulate the team on securing investment through the Arts Council’s National Portfolio Investment Funding.
This significant investment of £100,000 will enable the West Yorkshire Print Workshop to continue to support artists of all ages and to bring creativity and culture to all in the community.
Michelle Donelan said:
"We're confirming today that cultural organisations across Yorkshire and the Humber are receiving an additional £15million of funding to boost the region's artistic offer.
I'm delighted that this will include fantastic organisations like the West Yorkshire Print Workshop in Mirfield - it was wonderful to see the work they do helping artists of all ages to develop their careers whilst providing high-quality exhibitions for local communities to enjoy.
This is levelling up in action and Conservative MP Mark Eastwood has been campaigning tirelessly to ensure that his constituents benefit from the government funding, which will have a hugely positive impact on the local community."
