We support artists’ ambitions to create work with, and for rural communities through a range of development, touring, and creation opportunities.
- We offer a significant artist development programme to empower artists to realise their creative potential.
- Our Indoor programme tours ready-to-go shows, including theatre, dance, children’s shows, music, and storytelling, to village halls, community spaces, and libraries across Kent, Essex and Sussex.
- Our Outdoors programme specially commissions or develops exciting new work for outdoor performances at rural fetes and festivals.
Applications are now open to be part of our next outdoor season. We are looking to support up to six new projects to be created for touring in 2027.
