The East Midlands Arts in Rural Areas Network (EMARAN) is a voluntary network which supports arts in rural areas and rural regeneration through the arts and celebrates the brilliance of our regional rural artists.

EMARAN is a vibrant network of creatives and strategists and creates opportunities for rural artists, creative practitioners, creative industries and cultural organisations to meet, build relationships, and share experience and knowledge. We also act as an advocate and voice for rural culture.

EMARAN is funded through Arts Council England East Midlands
