Join the conversation on how the Outdoor Arts massively increases participation in the arts
CPP at FRESH Street #5Why GY?
What does this mean to Great Yarmouth? More high quality outdoor arts on your doorstep, opportunities for our local artists to engage with the international sector and a chance to cement Great Yarmouth as the capital of outdoor arts and circus.
Great Yarmouth is already home to Out There Arts who operate The Drill House and the upcoming The Ice House - National Centres of Excellence for Outdoor Arts and Circus as well as the Out There Festival.
The Out There Festival is recognised internationally as a strong practitioner of participative and inclusive approach. Great Yarmouth is prime to welcome a forward-looking approach to the future of Outdoor Arts and thinking around community-led place-making.
What does this mean to the UK?
FRESH Street #5 will springboard a three year international and UK reciprocal exchange network programme. A collaborative and creative opportunity to revitalise the exchange of world-class, tourable, quality outdoor work and innovate the outdoor arts as an effective means to engage with communities.
Stay tuned to find out more about our three year programme.
