Supporting Creatives Across Cornwall

Husa is our programme for artists and creatives in Cornwall. 

Inspired by the Cornish word ‘to dream’, Husa is part of our mission to connect Cornwall to the world. Over more than a decade we’ve fired up an engine of support, giving artists, freelancers and organisations the space, connections and confidence to carve out creative careers in Cornwall. 

Programmes you might have heard of are our Associate Artists, Creation Space, New Artist Network, Cuppa Culture, Cornwall Dance Network and Made In Cornwall Scratch Nights. But that’s only scratching (see what we did there?) the surface. Led by HfC Deputy Creative Director Helen Tiplady and supported by Husa Manager Sally Knight and team, our Husa programme is bursting at the seams with support for you to access.

Skills sessions 

Our skills sessions are all about developing your creative practice. From workshops such as Voice and Accent Hub where you’ll brush up your vocal chops, to our Dance Masterclasses, where you can develop your skills in movement and performance, and plenty of creative opportunities in between. Hone your creative toolkit with performance and skills sessions designed to empower your work. 

Artist toolkit 

These sessions and workshops are designed to give you the tools to produce theatre with the business know-how to back it up. We’ll equip you with a strong foundation of skills in an accessible and understandable way. From grant-writing workshops designed to demystify the daunting, to artist support surgeries, where you can speak one-on-one with someone from our Get Creative team. 

It’s all about connection  

We want to stay connected with you and give you ways to connect with each other. Whether that’s in the Green Room Café over a top-notch coffee and a slice of cake, via a group Teams call, or pinging through a message on your mobile, we’ve got so many ways to keep in touch.  

Sign up to our dedicated Husa monthly newsletter – delivered direct to your inbox (Dive into this month’s newsletter here!)- or join our Husa WhatsApp group for all the most up-to-date info straight to your phone. Here’s the invite:

We’ve also got plenty of opportunities to meet in person. Come along to our networking events or pre-show socials to find your artistic tribe, share ideas and spark creative conversations. Our Get Creative team is also on hand to support you through 1-1 Artist Surgeries taking place at various locations across Cornwall, so you can always find one that’s accessible to you or even join via Teams if that works best for you.
