Exmouth Arts is working in collaboration with Exmouth Altogether (EXALT) - its website is https://www.exmouthaltogether.org/. EXALT is campaigning for the establishment of a Creative Hub in the heart of town. It will be a cultural, social, information, education, and entertainment hub where events, performances, installations and exhibitions are integrated within a space that also shows what the numerous social and creative Exmouth organisations, charities, churches, etc. do and offer.
By presenting this altogether in a truly creative and cross-pollinating way ‘Exmouth Altogether (EXALT)’ will be an asset for the community and an attractive addition for tourists. Please show your support for the Exmouth Altogether initiative by completing the very short form on the Exmouth Altogether website's campaign page.
The latest news about this has just been published in the Exmouth Journal - see John Astley's article about this and the previous articles are in our Features section.
