City of Westminster

Arts in Westminster

The City of Westminster is both a local community with a varied and active community arts programme, and an international centre housing flagship arts organisations.

Westminster encourages and supports the provision of high quality activities in all art forms, from local to international level.  The city contains many residential communities, with a diversity of cultures, lifestyles, character and settings. These communities generate their own arts activities, which are accessible to local people, as participants and audience members.
