 Our Mission

We aim to support practising artists in Kent , encouraging their development by creating opportunities for new approaches, to work in different environments and to collaborate with other British and European artists.

We aim to provide leverage and influence for Kent artists by bringing them together into a community where they can seek peer support, network with other artists’ communities and with organisations in both the UK and the EU.

We aim to generate creative projects that will involve our local community, encouraging social engagement, develop a sense of place and contribute to the vitality of the area. We hope to inspire people to approach art with a different view, provide educational opportunities and kindle the artists and creative industries of the future.
