Partnership opportunity

Mid Street Lab × The Vault — Contemporary art with purpose

About

Partnership opportunity

Operated by Wach’Art CIC, our dual-site model connects two complementary cultural spaces: Mid Street Lab — an experimental, process-led environment embedded in the city. The Vault — a public-facing seafront gallery focused on visibility, exhibitions and audiences. Together, they form a year-round cultural ecosystem where artistic research, public presentation and community engagement continuously feed one another.

What's happening

This is not one-off programming.
It is an evolving platform for contemporary art with purpose.

Across 2026, our programme includes exhibitions, residencies, masterclasses, youth engagement, professional development and public events. Every project is designed to support artists fairly, activate underused cultural space, and invite the public into creative process — not just finished outcomes.

For small businesses and ethical brands, partnership is not transactional.
It is relational.

It offers a way to:

• Speak directly to and with local communities
• Support Brighton-based and regional artists
• Contribute to free, accessible public culture
• Align with social, environmental and cultural values
• Be visibly part of the city’s creative infrastructure
• Participate in a growing, values-led cultural network

By partnering with Mid Street Lab × The Vault, supporters enable:

• Artist fees and sustainable production
• Free public exhibitions and events
• Experimental, risk-positive artistic practice
• Cross-neighbourhood cultural activity
• Documentation, education and long-term impact
• The not-for-profit programme of Wach’Art CIC

Our partners are not “sponsors of events.”
They are collaborators in a living cultural project.

If you’ve been looking for a way to genuinely engage with Brighton’s creative life — to support something real, visible, and socially rooted — this is that opportunity.

Contemporary art becomes the medium.
The city becomes the conversation.
Partnership becomes the catalyst.
