Welcome to The Spring – empowering people through arts, creativity and culture.
We’re The Spring – a cross-artform and heritage organisation that brings people together to be inspired, get creative and try something new. We believe that arts, culture and heritage have the power to change lives, and we’re here to help make that happen.
Our hub, for creativity, learning and cultural opportunities for the community and beyond, is based in Havant Town and home to a 145 seater studio theatre, museum collection, workshop spaces and art studio. Whether you’re taking part in a creative workshop, enjoying a performance, exploring local history, or simply connecting with us in person or out in the community, we want everyone to feel welcome to everything The Spring has to offer.
We also have key focuses on Creative Wellbeing, Place-making, Children and Young People and Opening Up of the Creative Industries.
Our vision
Through arts, creativity and culture, we want to empower the people of Havant and beyond to discover new ideas, learn new skills and find new futures.
We want to raise people’s aspirations, help them achieve their potential and enhance their quality of life. Together we will make Havant Borough and surrounding areas a place people want to visit, to work in and live in. A place where people thrive.
We believe that everyone deserves the chance to learn new things, explore new ideas and continue to grow. We recognise that access can be limited and challenging, but we want to work together to challenge the status-quo through the power of arts, creativity and culture.
Our values
We are open – we believe in being open, clear and inclusive; we approach everything with warmth and integrity
We are connectors – we believe that together we are stronger; we put time and energy into actively connecting communities, artists, audiences and partners
We are courageous – we believe in being brave, bold and fun; we are not afraid of experimenting and trying new things
Our mission
• To facilitate dynamic, creative and cultural opportunities that empower communities and artists across Havant, Hampshire and beyond.
• To bring together artists, creatives, participants and audiences, to create, learn and grow together.
• To collaborate both locally and nationally, contributing to the local ecology, economic growth and sustainability.
