Sharing Our Value highlights our consistent achievements, and future goals, illustrating how investment can make a tangible difference for new artists across the UK. Our programmes enhance artists' skills, confidence, and long-term career prospects. The publication also shares Our Vision for the future, including plans to establish a National Hub for New Artists in the East Midlands. 

With testimonials, real-life success stories and data, Sharing Our Value demonstrates how we’ve increased demand for our programmes by 300%, empowering over 3,500 artists to showcase their work. Through our work with globally recognised partners and sponsors, including Robert Walters and 4C Group, we continue to provide opportunities to new artists and connect them with wider audiences.
