We believe Portsmouth is a city of opportunity and creativity

We create opportunities for creativity because we believe it enriches everyone’s lives. By supporting a creative Portsmouth, we help build a vibrant and inclusive community with a strong sense of identity and pride. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We partner with various organisations to support Portsmouth’s creative growth.

We create opportunities for our creative and cultural sector to platform work and develop skills. We work with and in communities, co-creating across Portsmouth to animate spaces and we collaborate with city stakeholders to put Portsmouth on the map.
