The Ipswich Arts Festival (Ip-art) has been the Town’s annual summer arts
festival since 2003 and seen a developing and varied programme of events from
visual arts, performing arts, literature, film and music.
Encompassing venues across the town and complementing Ipswich’s economic
expansion by invigorating its cultural growth, the Ipswich Arts Festival has
provided an exciting programme of arts for the people of Ipswich and beyond to
enjoy that is both appealing and accessible to all sections of the community.
Ip-art aims to promote and encourage arts of the highest possible standard by
bringing together a programme of events that offer equal opportunity for all
sections of the public to experience and enjoy.
In partnership with local business and media we have been able to deliver a
rich and diverse events programme that we believe adds to both the town's
cultural development and economic sustainability.
