  Since 1987 Take Art: Live, through the village performance scheme, has brought high quality arts events to rural Somerset. By working together with village volunteers Take Art: Live strengthens the social fabric of communities through memorable experiences. The events can play a vital role in keeping villages vibrant and many communities make small profits whilst enjoying a good night out.
   
  Each year - 120 shows in 80 rural venues with 10,000 applauding audience members!
   
  “Rural touring is about more than just performances .. it plays an important part in the social life of small communities … it involves people of all ages and backgrounds … it can be a catalyst for community development, because it always requires people to become active partners..”

  The Great Somerset Arts Adventure is taking 30 lucky individuals to a series of arts events across the county in 2007. With their destination unknown until their arrival, these intrepid adventurers are really getting a taste of what the arts have to offer in Somerset.The venues involved in the GSAA project also remain undisclosed until their event, to add to the mystery.
   
  Take Art: Live took part in the project in February, with the fantastic European Clowning show 'Plutot la Vie', at Mark Village Hall.
