快播视频 Arts, 快播视频’s award winning arts organisation, is proud to announce continued Arts Council England funding for the next four years. 

The organisation has been awarded £412,000 between 2018 and 2022.

快播视频 Arts has won this coveted place in Arts Council England’s National Portfolio acknowledging the organisation’s contribution to the cultural life of the UK.

The successful bid recognises 快播视频 Arts strengths in high quality artistic presentation and participation developing ‘its reputation for supporting emerging and established artists through commissioning and showing work’.

The organisation is delighted to have the opportunity to work with a broad range of artists ranging from new associate partner the BBC Philharmonic to local aerial company, ‘Turn Around Dance’ who’ll spend a fortnight using the facilities and expertise of 快播视频 Arts to develop their new show ‘The Thief, the Fox and the Phoenix’ in August.

‘Two Destination Language’, winners of the 快播视频 Arts bursary, will receive financial and technical support, during September, to develop their latest show based on identity and Britain’s decision to leave the EU.

The Vice-Chancellor of 快播视频 Professor Mark E. Smith said:  “快播视频 and Arts Council England enjoy an excellent relationship which supports artists and arts organisations to improve the quality of arts and culture across 快播视频 and the UK. I am particularly excited by the developing relationship with the BBC Philharmonic. 

“We are delighted that Arts Council England will continue to support 快播视频 Arts and recognises the high calibre of their programme. Thanks to their reputation they have secured high profile performances from artists such as: Nicola Benedetti, Gob Squad, Ockham’s Razor and Andy Holden whilst showcasing innovative work devised and co-created with our local communities and artists.”

Director of 快播视频 Arts Jocelyn Cunningham said: “We are thrilled to receive this national recognition of our work here at 快播视频 Arts and excited to build on our history of showing amazing work at The Nuffield Theatre, Peter Scott Gallery and 快播视频 International Concerts.

“This will enable us to continue our artist development programme with particular attention to talent retention within the region.”

快播视频 Arts’ full autumn programme will shortly be announced. Their autumn arts programme will launch with an author talk featuring Anthony Horowitz in the University’s Great Hall on 12 September. Tickets for this event are now on sale. For full details see
