VISION
We are committed to building Southampton as an inclusive and creative city
By working together with local partners, we will showcase the city’s unique cultural identity and make Southampton a great place to visit, live, work, study, and play.
As a community-driven organisation, we put people at the heart of everything we do.
MISSION
Rooted in our city, we develop projects built on community engagement and collaboration, that spark imagination and inventiveness, and embrace inclusivity
Cultural, social, wellbeing and economic benefits flow from these collaborations – which share Southampton’s hidden stories, encourage civic pride, and celebrate our city’s proud identity. Working with others, we develop and promote festivals, events and celebrations that expand our tourism offer and put Southampton on the map
We stimulate creativity by supporting skills development and increasing opportunities for the city’s creative community. Culture is the catalyst for Southampton’s regeneration and creative place-making.
Real change and progress can be achieved only through collective effort.
Together, we bring Southampton forward.
