Forest Forge Theatre Company

Chapel Arts Studios (CAS) is a socially engaged contemporary visual arts charity based in Andover, Hampshire. We are one of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Organisations (NPO). We believe that in a disconnected community with lack of access to cultural opportunities for all, we create a home of connections and possibilities through art. By being part of the cultural transformation of Andover and championing inclusion and creative potential in the wider region, we inspire our communities and nurture creatives,  transforming lives. We are home to a network of associate artists, of all ages and career stages.

We’re The Spring – a cross-artform and heritage organisation that brings people together to be inspired, get creative and try something new. We believe that arts, culture and heritage have the power to change lives, and we’re here to help make that happen. Our hub, for creativity, learning and cultural opportunities for the community and beyond, is based in Havant Town and home to a 145 seater studio theatre, museum collection, workshop spaces and art studio. We also have key focuses on Creative Wellbeing, Place-making, Children and Young People and Opening Up of the Creative Industries.

ArtfulScribe is a literature development organisation and community interest company based in Southampton. Our mission is to pave the way for people of all backgrounds and ages to enrich their lives through written and spoken word, to amplify new voices, and to use words to strengthen communities. We support emerging and continuing writers in Hampshire, Dorset, and the Solent region to create new work and develop skills through writing workshops, live events and career-development opportunities. We provide free or low cost creative writing sessions for children, young people and adults; writing for well being sessions; and other creative programmes and live events that celebrate the written and spoken word.
