Impact Report
Inspired by the reformist legacy of William Wilberforce and the wider abolitionist movement, we build local, national and international alliances to create cultural experiences that have something to say about universal values and the future we want to make together, working with artists, creative organisations, international producers, the private sector, academic partners and voluntary and community groups.
We commission new work, support and nurture the growth of creative ideas and work closely with emerging and established artists internationally, nationally, regionally and locally. We work with multi-disciplinary artists who are generous, unique and audacious.
What We DoFreedom Festival Arts Trust are one of the pioneer organisations in Hull’s cultural revolution. Producers of Freedom Festival, the Trust is anchored in the city of Hull and influential in the global arts sector, bringing thousands of people to the city each year to experience world-class performances and exhibitions. We take the art to where the people are!
