The Electric Sunshine Project

We are in an exciting developmental stage at the moment and will, when circumstances allow, be opening a brand new community arts hub in the centre of Blackpool which we hope will represent a fantastic opportunity for the area and those wishing to develop in their creative aspirations…

Watch this space (or our website/social media) for updates. Meantime here’s a little more about us:

Our purpose is to ensure that arts and creativity is accessible for all Blackpool communities

Our Vision:
A stronger, more resilient resident community are empowered to create a new narrative about the town
New work that provokes, surprises and entertains audiences is regularly made and performed in Blackpool and shared across the UK and around the world

Our Mission is to:
Provide transformative creative experiences that improve lives of local residents
Be valuable contributors to the town’s economy through a new hub of creative opportunities

Our Objectives are to:
Inspire individuals to connect with their own creativity through a menu of high-quality socially-engaged arts activities in Blackpool
Collaborate with others to reduce barriers to communities connecting with high quality arts programmes
Support emerging creatives in their professional aspirations via regular development and employment opportunities
Develop a new hub of social connectivity and creative practice in the town
Generate income to support our aims to develop financial and organisational resilience
