Artist Opportunity, Community, Event, Exhibitions, Free, In Person, Talks
Friday 6th March 2026 6:00pm - 8:00pm
God's House Tower, Town Quay Road, Southampton, SO14 2NY
Join us on Friday 6th March at God’s House Tower (GHT) as we decide which community-focused, women-led project in Southampton will win a £2,000 bursary and an exhibition at GHT in March next year.
Hear directly from the brilliant people behind creative community projects in your local area. From painting, to singing, cooking and crafting, there are so many groups and gatherings in Southampton that deserve more funding and more support. This is an opportunity for you to find out more about what they do and why they do it. Plus, you can play your part in their future by voting for the project you’d like to see awarded the funding.
Each community leader will have 10 minutes to pitch their project at the event, then voting will officially begin on Saturday 7th March and close on Sunday 15th March.
The pitches will also be recorded and uploaded to the ‘a space’ arts YouTube Channel to give online audiences a chance to watch them and cast their votes.
About Pitch Your Project
Pitch Your Project offers a creative, community-focused initiative in the SO postcode £2000 to fund new activity. Projects are selected by the community, for the community, at a live event where applicants pitch their ideas to an audience who then vote for the projects they’d like to see awarded the funding.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, this round of the Pitch Your Project bursary scheme is specifically for women-led initiatives. The winner will receive £2,000 to initiate a new project, or contribute to the ongoing work of an existing one.
