What is an Associate Artist?
Associate Artists are companies or individuals that share our ethos, working practices and mission to Engage, Inspire and Entertain.
They may have been invited to become Associate Artists due to geographical closeness and/or repeated working relationships. Others have applied to the scheme. All work closely with us and become part of a peer-to-peer support network, acting as mentors for aspiring creatives.
