About us
What is Culture Connects?
Culture Connects supports long-term planning for culture and the creative industries across our region, helping to make connections and nurturing new ideas at a local level.
We take a collaborative approach that encourages knowledge sharing, showcases creative talent and makes it easier for those working in the creative industries across Hampshire and beyond to find each other and create. We support the network to find opportunities for funding, training, jobs, spaces and collaborative projects so we all continue to create meaningful work.

About Hampshire Cultural Trust
Hampshire Cultural Trust is an independent charity that approaches things differently. We work at scale, running visitor attractions, arts centres, art galleries and museums in the south of England, confidently crossing sector boundaries and upholding distinct local identities. We work for positive change in education, criminal justice and public health, and support placemaking and regeneration, advocating access to cultural experiences for everyone.
Since we started in 2014, we have grown our work in cultural development, partnering with local authorities and Arts Council England, and becoming a National Portfolio Organisation in 2023. Culture Connects was born out of this work.
Our 2030 strategy sets out our ambition to create a sustainable, long-term model for delivering culture in our region through collaboration.
