Unlock

Since 2018, our Unlock programme has worked to grow Sunderland’s cultural infrastructure, offering support for established and emerging creative practitioners and businesses. The programme has had many iterations over the years, from training sessions and support grants, to mentoring and networking. Keep an eye on this page for more opportunities and events for creatives.

Unlock is currently funded by the UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund. It is a part of the Sunderland Innovate and Grow enterprise programme, led by University of Sunderland.
