Creating experiences for our communities in Stoke-on-Trent as vital and nourishing as good food.
Appetite is a vibrant arts programme bringing world-class, inspiring cultural experiences to Stoke-on-Trent.
We believe great art should be for everyone, so we work hard to remove barriers making it easy for everyone to join in.
We proactively seek out different communities to invite along and support diverse artists – including those with SEND – to share their work.
Appetite is a Creative People and Places programme, initiated and funded by Arts Council England, that supports communities to shape the cultural experiences they want in the places where they live! Our consortium is led by New Vic Theatre and includes Partners in Creative Learning (PiCL), 6 Towns Radio, Keele University and University of Staffordshire. We work closely with a wide range of local and national partners who you can see over on our How We Work page.
Since launching in 2013, we’ve worked with brilliant artists, passionate local decision-makers and wonderful volunteers to co-create unexpected and unforgettable arts events in and for our communities – from large outdoor circus spectacles in parks to intimate gigs in bus stations.
