Join Quay Arts for Act 1 of The A.M.P. Showcase, celebrating 10 years of funding for young Isle of Wight creatives.
2026 marks the 10th anniversary of the fund, formerly known as the Mike Howley Trust and now renamed the A.M.P. Fund – Artists, Musicians and Performers. Overseen by Quay Arts, the fund has made more than 100 awards supporting the creative ambitions of Island artists aged 18–30.
This special anniversary showcase celebrates the talent the fund has supported, with performances and work from previous recipients.
Act 1 Cabaret takes place in the Minghella Theatre featuring theatre, comedy, dance and spoken word.
There will also be a display of physical work from previous alumni in the Clayden Gallery in the week leading up to the showcase.
