Our mission is to inspire and enable artists to be their most creative and to champion the power of the arts to enrich and change lives. We believe in the transformative power of the arts and that they can provide a catalyst for social change for good.  

As custodians of the Grade I and Grade II listed Brighton Dome, which is part of the iconic Royal Pavilion Estate, we present a rich and varied programme spanning music, theatre, dance, comedy, literature, spoken word, visual arts, film, digital, community and participatory events.  

Our magnificent building, Brighton Dome, has been standing for over 200 years - a beacon for the community. Starting as a riding stable for Prince Regent and transforming into many guises thereafter from a place of protest and solidarity for Suffragettes to temporary hospital in WWI, a refuge for wartime dance in World War II and even a roller-skating venue. Brighton Dome is an extraordinary space in which to bring the arts alive.

We produce Brighton Festival, the largest curated annual arts festival in England. Renowned for its pioneering spirit and experimental reputation since 1967, Brighton Festival has become one of the city’s most enduring symbols of inventiveness.  Since 2009 we have welcomed a major cultural figure to guest curate and enhance the prestige of the artistic programme. Anish Kapoor, Brian Eno, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael Rosen, Hofesh Shechter, Ali Smith, Laurie Anderson, Kate Tempest, David Shrigley and Lemn Sissay have contributed significantly to our innovative programming as Guest Director.

A hub for artists across the region, we  commission and support both emerging and established artists and companies, enabling them to develop, take risks and deliver work of the highest quality. 

The third part of our arts portfolio is a strong music education service that teaches over 4k children and young people music across East and West Sussex.
