When you support You Will Be C.I.C., you are helping creativity take root across Malton and Ryedale. Your donation directly supports local artists, community workshops, family-friendly cultural events and projects that bring people together. It helps rural creatives feel seen, helps communities feel connected, and helps ensure that arts and culture remain part of everyday life in North Yorkshire.
We believe creativity should not belong only to cities. Rural places deserve vibrant cultural spaces too.
Your support helps make that possible.
Across Ryedale, talented artists are creating incredible work in home studios, barns, sheds and spare rooms. Many love living here, but finding opportunities to exhibit, connect with audiences, or build sustainable creative careers can be difficult. You Will Be C.I.C. exists to change that.
We develop projects that give artists visibility, strengthen local high streets, create accessible cultural events, and bring people together through shared creative experiences. From sculpture trails and exhibitions to festivals, workshops and open studios, everything we do is rooted in the communities of Malton and Ryedale.
Every donation helps build a stronger creative ecosystem where artists, families, businesses and visitors can all take part.
As a Community Interest Company, we operate with a legal Asset Lock. That means every penny of profit is reinvested directly back into the community we serve. Your support doesn’t disappear into administration or shareholders. It goes straight into creative projects, opportunities and community activity across North Yorkshire.
