Arts by the Sea offers an inspirational, diverse and highly accessible annual arts festival, aimed at enhancing a sense of community through a celebration of art, culture, people and place. It includes key strands of talent development and community participation and has strong values of environmental sustainability, inclusivity and accessibility. Traditionally using the key public spaces in central Bournemouth to host a showcase event each autumn, the festival has ambitions to expand throughout the year and across the conurbation of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
This form is the General Contributors Application. It is for artists working in any medium (performance, installation, theatre, outdoor arts) and from any location to bring their work to the attention of the festival's programmers.
