Associate Company
At the heart of The Hub is a desire to support local Artists and companies who are striving to push the boundaries within their work.
We try to address the barriers these emerging companies face and provide them with the space to research and develop in order to reach the next level in their creative journey.
We’ve designed a robust package to support our chosen associate company, Let Me In Presents.
The package was designed based on the needs of a fledgling arts company. Let Me In Presents will receive a grant for making new work, free access to rehearsal space, mentorship from the Creative Director, organisational development support, hot desking and Priority booking for our events calendar.
Introducing Let Me In Presents
Let Me In Presents is a Lichfield based arts collective, delivering work exploring identity, diversity and mental health through the medium of plays, music and movement
