Our Story

We're a pioneering arts organisation based in Grimsby, passionately serving our community and beyond, by creating thoughtful and imaginative festivals, events and projects all designed to uplift, stimulate and positively impact.

We believe everyone should have access to creative and cultural experiences, no matter what their background or where they live. That’s why we actively work to remove barriers to engagement, ensuring our spaces, programmes and opportunities are accessible and welcoming to all, including those who have been historically excluded. Culture should represent and belong to everyone – and we’re committed to making that a reality.

As a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England, we contribute to shaping our place, with vision, love and commitment, co-producing in partnership with others, engaging and memorable experiences that we hope connect and live on in the heart.

Believing in the power of creativity and culture, we’re dedicated change-makers and future-facers, often looking back to see how far the region has come.

We love to enliven grey streets and public spaces with the vibrant work of visiting artists and our local talent, laying much-needed foundations for a positive and thriving future, with all of our activity, through research, proven to raise ‘pride in place’.

Our projects span the whole spectrum of arts, from outdoor circus and street arts to live music, theatre, visual art and more – we have a love of all things creative, aiming to connect people to the work of outstanding, credible and innovative artists while showcasing and supporting the development of all the artistic strengths our region has to offer.

Having established in 2010 and with a trailblazing blend of projects now under our belt, we’ve recently transitioned to a charity, focusing on the difference and impact we can continue to make to this truly wonderful place of ours
