Creatives Across Sussex supports artists, producers and arts companies to create large-scale arts projects with communities in Sussex. We work strategically with local, regional and national partners to support important new cultural initiatives and to help the creative and cultural sectors capitalise on funding and development opportunities.

Since 2008, our directors and associates have worked with more than 150 creative partners and artists in every medium and at every scale, involving more than 3000 Sussex residents across seven local authority districts; they have attracted more than £500,000 in funding to deliver creative projects such as The Ahead of the Game Festival – West Sussex’s celebration of the London 2012 Games, which included:

Whispering Woods – mass participation choral event in specially-lit woodland at night

Blue Touch Paper Carnival – a carnival group created by people with learning disabilities

Dromos – a travelling, pop-up, cabaret-style arts festival

Illuminating the South Downs – a creative response to the museum collections across the West Sussex Downs

The Seed – a theatrical production and on-line game about the plant hunters in the Great Gardens of Sussex

The Big Picnic – A simultaneous picnic across seven districts from dawn 'til dusk.
