The West Sussex Arts Partnership is the local authority arts forum for West Sussex, with membership from county, district and borough councils across the county.

Creative West Sussex is coordinated by West Sussex Arts Partnership, who launched the site in June 2011.

The partnership has grown from strength to strength since it was formalized in 2003. It has facilitated and nurtured to great success projects such as Gravity, Dialog, Poems & Puddings, Blue Umbrella and the County Dance Initiative as well as establishing rural arts schemes such as Movies on the Move and Making Tracks. West Sussex Arts Partnership are now leading the West Sussex Ahead of the Game Cultural Programme for 2012, which will culminate with a countywide festival in the leadup to London 2012.

The partnership's work enriches communities throughout West Sussex and demonstrates that the Arts are a vital part of community life and individual well-being, making a valuable contribution to the county's cultural, health, economic, learning and skills landscape.
