Join us at the Pitch Your Project Voting Event!

Hear directly from the brilliant people behind creative community projects in your local area. There are so many groups and gatherings in Southampton that deserve more funding and more support. This is an opportunity for you to find outmore 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 29th August.

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.
