Appetite Stoke

Appetite is a three year artistic programme that aims to get more people in Stoke-on-Trent to experience and be inspired by the arts. Appetite is funded by Arts Council England and is part of the Creative People and Places programme. The programme aims to build an appetite for the arts in the city by putting on quality, accessible events in public spaces and placing people at the heart of what we do so they can take part and shape arts activity in Stoke-on-Trent. Appetite will engage local residents so they can get involved and influence more art in more places across the city.

Appetite’s focus is to better understand what the people of Stoke-on-Trent really want from the arts and how best to serve it to them. An ambition of Appetite is to deliver some of the best quality and most exciting arts activities that the local, national and international arts industry can offer.

The Appetite programme is supported using public funding by Arts Council England and led by the New Vic Theatre in partnership with B Arts, Brighter Futures, Partners in Creative Learning and Staffordshire University. Appetite is also supported by Stoke-on-Trent City Council.
