The Brighton & Hove Culture Alliance is a city-wide network that connects people and organisations across the creative and cultural industries.

Its aim is to unite the city's diverse community of creative practitioners, freelancers and organisations. Through its core principles of Connect. Share. Advocate., the Alliance strengthens and sustains the sector by connecting people and building community, sharing knowledge and insights, and advocating for the needs of Brighton & Hove's creative and cultural community through partnerships, networking, research, collaboration, and lobbying. The Alliance works to support the health and resilience of the sector, ensuring Brighton & Hove's cultural life remains inclusive, representative and connected.

The Culture Alliance evolved out of the action of a group of the city's creative and cultural workers, who came together to develop the ABCD Plan for Cultural Recovery, in response to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the sector. You can find out more about ABCD and its development into the Culture Alliance HERE.

We have recently become a Community Interest Company (CIC), marking an exciting next chapter for our work across Brighton & Hove. You can find out more about the people involved in the Culture Alliance and how it’s run HERE.
