Creating exceptional art by removing barriers and opening opportunities.
TURTLE KEY ARTS IS A CREATIVE PRODUCER OF THEATRE, DANCE, CIRCUS AND PARTICIPATION. WE BELIEVE EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE EXCEPTIONAL ART, REGARDLESS OF THEIR BACKGROUND, CIRCUMSTANCES OR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE.
Working with artists, companies and partner organisations, we create and tour ambitious new productions while developing free participation programmes that remove barriers to engagement and open up opportunities for people to create, connect and thrive through the arts.
“Turtle Key Arts promote many initiatives and implement a series of measures to engage with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged parts of society.” - Everything Theatre
Everything we do is built on collaboration. We develop long-term partnerships with artists, cultural organisations, schools, healthcare providers and community groups to create work that is artistically ambitious, socially relevant and accessible to the widest possible audience.
“Turtle Key Arts have a long-standing reputation in their role as creative producers advancing participation in the arts by disabled, disadvantaged and socially excluded people.” - Disability Arts
Since 1989, Turtle Key Arts has produced internationally acclaimed companies, championed new voices and created pioneering programmes for autistic people, people living with dementia, young people living with HIV, people with dyslexia and many others. Whether producing award-winning performance or delivering creative projects in communities, our purpose remains the same - to create outstanding artistic experiences and ensure more people have the opportunity to take part.
