East Sussex Arts Partnership

The Partnership is currently made up of East Sussex County Council; Arts Council England South East; all the Districts: Rother, Lewes and Wealden and Boroughs: Eastbourne and Hastings in East Sussex.

We work together to plan, manage and raise external funding for four programmes:

Public Art

  • Supported projects in Lewes and Wealden with more planned in other areas.
  • Developed guidelines for local authorities, developers and others for commissioning public art.
  • Published a leaflet sowing the diversity of recent public art projects in East Sussex.

Community Touring

  • Commissioned a new piece of outdoor theatre ‘Elise Piddock Skips in Her Sleep’ for family audiences.
  • We are developing an on-line box office that festivals and small promoters can use to sell tickets for their events.

Spoken and Written Word

  • We are promoting a two year programme of events across the County bringing local people and professional writers together through performance and workshops.

Young People and Contemporary Culture

  • Developed programmes for young people in partnership with the Youth Service and others.
  • Promoted the first East Sussex Youth Arts Festival and is planning the 2007 Festival 'Access All Areas'.
