Our Artist Inspiration Trips are bespoke experiences for artists and creatives we’re already connected with through networking, mentoring and partnerships. Led by our Solent Programme Producer Lucy, each trip is thoughtfully curated to inspire fresh ideas and foster meaningful connections through performances, spaces and people that ignite new creative thinking.

We’ve explored:

• Ventnor Fringe Festival – independent arts and alternative performances
• Newbury – outdoor arts creation hub & 101 Outdoor Arts, Reimagine. Redefine. Symposium 2024
• Worthing Theatres – contemporary, boundary-pushing work

These trips offer space to experience, reflect and connect, sparking ideas that ripple back into artists’ practices.
