Community Arts
Current community arts projects include involvement in a number of Greater Manchester initiatives like the GMMAZ Youth Music Project 
, and the Pixelate Project involving live internet broadcasts from Tameside. Arts and Regeneration work in Tameside encourages creative activity in the region - from helping community groups plan and deliver arts activities in their areas, to providing marketing and funding assistance for the local artists network at Woodend Mill in nearby Mossley, and much more in-between.
Lots more examples of activities delivered by Tameside's community arts team and their partners can be seen at www.madcat-arts.org.uk 
Music beats across Tameside
A new season of the On Top of the World programme hits Tameside from the Greater Manchester Music Action Zone. This season Tameside’s Arts and Events team are working with partners across Tameside to recruit keen musical young people who wouldn’t usually get the chance to access projects with professional musicians.

Bronze Heritage Maps
Alongside an extensive programme that is bringing a variety of heritage statues and sculptures to the Borough, the Council continues its commitment to bring public art to every area of Tameside with a new programme of work that will see a bronze heritage map installed in each of the Borough's wards. Maps have already been unveiled in Mottram and in Waterloo, Ashton-under-Lyne. Work is now under way to produce the third map in the rolling programme, to be located in Dukinfield.
View the first in a planned series of 19 bronze heritage maps that has been unveiled in Mottram, Ashton under Lyne.

The Tameside Local History Forum
The Forum was established in January 2000 to increase public awareness and use of all the elements of local history throughout the Borough. The aim is to promote the study of archive and source material for social, business and archaeological purposes, and to make sure that such material is well preserved, collated and accessible to all.
