At Portsmouth Guildhall, we are delighted to host New Ventures as part of its exhibition tour.
This collaboration with Chichester Festival Theatre celebrates the value of intimate, experimental spaces where emerging voices can be nurtured, and innovation relished. Such a mission echoes with our own developments in The Base this last year.
In the arts, success cannot always be measured by the size of an audience. ‘Breakthroughs’ happen in unexpected places: anywhere where artists and audiences can connect differently, more deeply.
That’s the spirit of this exhibition. It reminds us that to build the next generation of theatre-makers and performers, we will need to offer spaces to unknown artists to try, to fail, so that eventually they may flourish.
So we’re delighted to champion with Chichester Festival Theatre its newest space, The Nest. Hoping that it becomes the vibrant, flexible space where the spirit of experimentation and creative risk can continue.
Please check our exhibitions are open before travelling to the Guildhall on 023 9387 0200.
