CREATIVE PROGRAMME

LCB delivers a year-round programme of exhibitions, events, talks and workshops, including work directly curated/produced by LCB or in partnership with sector partners, key brands, networks and HE. 

We utilise our Lightbox gallery space, our meeting rooms and cafe/event space and our courtyard garden to exhibit and promote works from across the creative industries and to celebrate and inspire creative enterprise 

Our creative programme’s exhibition and events programme includes work from different sub-sectors across the creative industries led by LCB and delivered in partnership with independent arts producer Vehicle Arts.  

Our exhibition open calls secure work from local, national, and international artists and creatives. 

We encourage and support partners and participants to have an enterprising approach – the more you put in the more you get out!

If you would like to get involved in our programme either in in an exhibition (or to volunteer with us) join our Opportunities mailing list. Alternativelty keep your eyes on our social media for our Open Calls

You don’t have to be making work specifically in each of the sectors, if it’s related to the theme in some way then that’s also good- if you dance about architecture we can potentially include that in October’s programme, for example. 

We’re also up for hosting events– you can send your ideas for them through the open call too.
