Our programme aims to reflect the diversity of our community as well reflecting the ever-changing world that we live in, allowing Kings Place to be a place of learning, discovery, debate and inspiration.
We uphold our belief of freedom of artistic expression and within that, the power of peaceful dialogue, within a balanced programme. What we mean by this is that we believe it is our responsibility to give a voice to a diverse array of artists and communities who explore work that may be challenging for others. As a result of this, we may explore subjects that are urgent and complex and it is our responsibility, along with the many organisations and artists we work with, to ensure that any controversial or sensitive work is planned with care so that ultimately, we provide a safe and welcoming space for all, including our audiences, artists and staff.
We invite artists and organisations to work with us because of their proven or potential track record of artistic work, those who uphold similar values to us. Our relationship with any organisation or artists does not mean we support their personal or political views, but we do support their right to express them. We do not tolerate hate speech, discrimination or harassment and expect everybody, whether working here or visiting, to act in line with our Zero Tolerance Statement, and will take action if anybody does not.
As well as our artistic programme, we regularly host conferences, private events, meetings, the income from which directly supports our arts and learning activities. These are private and corporate events that do not form part of our public programme.
