Pioneering Arts Organisation on the Isle of Wight
First started by a group of local students, Ventnor Exchange has been shaking things up since 2010, a truly grassroots project on a mission to bring about change, which has grown to become one of the Island’s leading arts organisations.
We want to transform lives for the communities we serve with more opportunities for everyone to be creative and learn new skills.
We do this by hosting live events like Ventnor Fringe, the Island’s largest arts festival, and running venues which host a huge programme of activities and shows all year round. This includes our big top The Arena, and a makers space.
We also support hundreds of young people through our Brave Island programme which provides free mentoring, work placements, workshops, trips and opportunities every single week.
