Artistic Programme Partnerships
We work with artists, producers, organisations and partners to develop and deliver a programme that reflects the communities we serve and the creative ambition of Legacy Centre of Excellence.
Our focus is on high-quality, culturally relevant work across music, theatre, visual arts and community practice, with a strong emphasis on artist development, audience engagement and long-term impact.
We are moving towards a more focused and curated programme. This means we are more intentional about the work we support and the partnerships we build
How We Work
We prioritise:
-
Clear artistic vision and purpose
-
Opportunities for artist development and progression
-
Strong audience engagement and reach
-
Fair and transparent ways of working
-
Partnerships that bring shared value and capacity
Please Note: We work collaboratively, but we do not operate as a free or open-access venue. All proposals are reviewed against our programme priorities, capacity and available resources.

One-off events with limited engagement or impact

Projects that rely solely on free use of space without shared benefit

Poorly planned or last-minute proposals
-
Activity that does not align with our programme priorities
