At Exeter Culture, we pride ourselves on our diverse leadership and Steering Group. We believe we have to stand together with the victims of marginalisation and repression because of their skin colour, ethnicity or diversity.

We strongly support those who seek justice through peaceful protests across the globe. In everything we do we will endeavour to show our support and solidarity on this crucial matter. We will hold ourselves to account on this matter and we will keep talking to you as we make plans for the future.

What
if..?

…everyone in Exeter who cares about arts and culture came together to make things happen? Exeter Culture believes that creative activity happens through conversation and collaboration. That by joining existing ideas together in new ways and finding different solutions to the same old challenges, we can make the 'what if..?' ambitions a reality.

Exeter is a city with a rich cultural history and an exciting cultural future. Success lies in recognising our unique strengths and inheritances, and growing them into new possibilities provided by a shared vision, technological developments and thinking outside the box.

By working together, we will increase opportunities for arts and cultural practitioners and producers to create distinctive work, and ensure it reaches a diverse audience. In this way, the arts, culture and heritage sector can play a key role in the city’s place-shaping strategies and ambitions.

Our aims:

We want to attract and retain creative talent. Exeter Culture will contribute to a rich and growing creative ecosystem - learning to carry our city forward together, by sharing our ideas and skills across art forms and disciplines. 

Exeter Culture is international and diverse in outlook. We will grow and support investment in arts and heritage through knowledge exchange, targeted interventions and advocacy.

We aim to embed arts and culture in all aspects of life, by ensuring they are integrated within the city’s broader strategic planning through the implementation of our place-based Cultural Strategy.

Working
with each
other

Making the connections that turn ambitions into reality.

Exeter Culture brings together everyone who cares about arts and culture in the city. Our small core team works hard to forge and nurture connections, initiate and facilitate conversations, and encourage and enable co-creation. Everything we do is focused around the principles of place-shaping: to support the development of Exeter as a city that thinks and acts differently about how we use and share space; to model decision-making that contributes to an environment that is beautiful and meaningful to the people who live, work and play here.

Supported by a collaboration between stakeholders University of Exeter and Exeter City Council, Exeter Culture is here to improve the resilience and ambition of Exeter’s arts and cultural sector by creating new local, national and international connections that define the city’s future.

Together with the city’s creative practitioners and cultural organisations, we will shape a vibrant, creative and culturally rich quality of life for those who live in, work in and visit Exeter.
