East Midlands First Theatre Company of Sanctuary Hosts A Seat at Our Table Event to Bring Persian Tea and Creative Dialogue on Sanctuary to Lincoln

We’re halfway through Lincoln Arts Centre’s Spring Season, Home Is Where the Art Is; a season of contemporary artistic works and experiences that explore what it means to create a home. Greater Lincolnshire is defined by its rich heritage and, in recent years, increasingly by its welcoming nature. We have embraced international students, migrant workers, and people seeking refuge.

The University of Lincoln’s Centre for Culture and Creativity has delivered another year of support for the region’s creative sector within its second year of being part of Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) status and has ambitious plans for this coming year.

We are recruiting for our third year of Routes In at Lincoln Arts Centre and Barbican Creative Hub, funded by Arts Council England.

Applications are now open for the Innovate Artist 2025/2026 cohort at Lincoln Arts Centre, made possible by funding from Arts Council England.

Lincoln Arts Centre at the University of Lincoln is thrilled to announce that the Lincoln Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (LAODS), a cornerstone of Lincoln’s cultural fabric for over a century, will become an associate community company at the venue.

This December Lincoln Arts Centre, the University of Lincoln School of Creative Arts, and the City of Lincoln Council have partnered together to deliver The Lincoln Guildhall Winter Exhibition in the windows of the historic landmark on Lincoln High Street. With submissions from students in the School of Creative Arts, a new artwork will be unveiled each day leading up to Christmas and presented to the busy shoppers on the high street throughout the festive season.

Over the course of three events, the University of Lincoln has played a key role in highlighting and supporting Social Prescribing initiatives. Led by the Centre for Culture and Creativity (C4CC)*, these events have engaged over 200 participants in presentations, panel discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and creative workshops focused on developing community solutions to contemporary health challenges.

Greater Lincolnshire is defined by its heritage past, and in recent years increasingly by its welcoming nature. We have welcomed international students, migrant workers and people seeking refuge.
