The development of a Cultural Manifesto for Southampton is a key ambition for the Trust, providing a solid framework that links arts and culture with the other key plans for the city and embeds creativity at the heart of the city’s future. I am delighted that we will begin our consultation on the Manifesto at So Much More on Thursday 19 May at Mettricks Cafe in the Guildhall Square. The event will include a few short talks updating you on some of the recent work of the Trust, then we will open the discussion up to those present. For Tickets please visit our Eventbrite page.

Join us for a day of conversation and collaboration exploring the impact of creatives and creativity on a city; how we sustain and retain the arts; and develop future creative career pathways in Southampton.

As an independently-organised fringe event to Culture City, Dangerous Ideas Southampton invite you to an evening with two fascinating, creative local people sharing their perspectives on Southampton as a place for culture.
