The Partnership is made up of:
Eastbourne Borough Council,
East Sussex County Council,
Lewes District Council,
Rother District Council, and
Wealden District Council.
We invest in culture because we value its contribution to the wellbeing of the county, and recognise it as a valuable tool for the county’s work in economic and social regeneration, tourism, environmental protection, planning, health, community safety, skills development and education.
We recognise the importance of striving for excellence. This is not about scale – small events can be great events. In the words of Arts Council England’s Great Art for Everyone: “it is simply the bravest, most original, most innovative, most perfectly realised work of which people are capable – whether in the creation of art, its performance, its communication or its impact on audiences.”
