Exeter Culture is supported by key stakeholder partners: University of Exeter, Arts Council England (through the Cultural Compact) and Exeter City Council. This collaboration and investment presents a step change in Exeter Culture’s development, and demonstrates the value of art and culture in Exeter.
University of Exeter
Exeter Culture is hosted by the Creative Economy team in Exeter Innovation, the externally facing branch of the University that harnesses its world leading research and education to create real and lasting impact, by working with organisations of all types and sizes on their innovation journey.
Arts Council England

The Arts Council also invests in artists, creative practitioners, and arts and cultural organisations through its Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants and body of Development funds.
Exeter City Council
