The Heart of Cultural Festivals, Arts and Events in Leicester
Founded in 2011 by Director Amanda Leandro, Cosmopolitan Arts is a community interest company CIC based in Leicester dedicated to celebrating cultural diversity through the arts.
​At the heart of our organisation is a commitment to engaging people from all backgrounds, particularly those who may not usually access the arts. We aim to create high-quality, participatory arts experiences that inspire, challenge perceptions, and create community cohesion across cultural and social boundaries.
