Toad Lickers Collective CIC exists to increase access to arts and culture by delivering free and affordable creative events, with a particular focus on young people, lower-income communities and emerging artists. During the financial year, we delivered a programme of exhibitions, screenings, workshops and participatory events that created opportunities for cultural engagement, skills development and paid creative work. Our bi-monthly film screenings, held at the artist-led community venue The Rose Hill in Brighton, offered affordable opportunities for audiences to experience independent cinema, socialise and take part in open discussions. We also supported the development of two emerging programmers from Fabrica's Fresh Perspectives programme and The Video Catalogue by collaborating with them to deliver public screenings. We were commissioned by BFI and Towner Eastbourne as part of the BFI FAN Art of Action programme to deliver two free creative workshops alongside film screenings for young audiences. This project also enabled us to provide paid freelance opportunities for three emerging facilitators and curators. We independently curated and produced FOLKLORE, a large-scale exhibition at Newhaven Marine Workshops featuring work by more than 80 artists from across the UK. The exhibition was accompanied by a programme of free and low-cost public events, including artist-led workshops, film screenings and community activities designed to make contemporary art accessible to a broad audience. Discounted workshop places were offered to local residents, and free community events were delivered in partnership with local organisations, making use of space provided in kind to maximise public benefit. Across our programme, we created paid opportunities for emerging creative professionals, employing freelance bar staff, workshop facilitators and exhibition assistants, including placements delivered in partnership with Talent Accelerator. We also developed an ongoing partnership with Phoenix Food Shop in Brighton to deliver free community events for people who use the food shop and residents of the surrounding estate. These events were designed to reduce barriers to cultural participation while creating welcoming opportunities for people to come together. Members of our collective, including Michelin-trained chefs, prepared complimentary seasonal hors d'oeuvres using locally sourced ingredients and produce grown in the community centre garden. Alongside the food offering, we delivered free creative workshops, craft activities and interactive experiences for participants of all ages, encouraging creativity, conversation and community connection in an informal and accessible setting. We also contributed to the wider cultural sector by commissioning and delivering participatory creative projects for Tate Britain as part of Tate Late, engaging young audiences through Tate Collective, and by facilitating a free intergenerational workshop on internet culture at Devonshire Collective in Eastbourne as part of our Associate Artists programme. Where possible, we prioritised working with independent community venues, including The Rose Hill and The Farm, helping to support the local creative economy while ensuring our activities remained accessible and community-focused. Through these activities, Toad Lickers Collective CIC has increased access to arts and culture, supported emerging artists and creative practitioners through paid work and professional development, strengthened partnerships with local organisations, supported independent community venues, and created welcoming opportunities for people from a wide range of backgrounds to participate in creative and cultural life.
