Support for writers
Oct 23-Oct 24
In October 2023 we received Arts Council funding to create a dedicated work and development space for writers in Thanet and provide a hub for the area’s emerging literary scene.
Aim: To develop an ecosystem for writers to match the scale, calibre and success of the visual arts scene in Margate.
