May for instance, is host to England\u2019s largest arts festival with the combined attraction of <strong>Brighton Festival<\/strong>, Brighton Fringe, The Great Escape, House and Artist Open Houses. \u00a0Brighton &amp; Hove also hosted bigger and better the Brighton Marathon, Pride and the Science Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">Working closely with Brighton University on the Film City initiative, <strong>Brighton &amp; Hove City Council<\/strong> has been bringing together those working in all aspects of the film industry in the city from exhibition and archive to film makers and films and TV made Brighton &amp; Hove.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">The council now has a formal partnership with Creative England helping to underline the city\u2019s profile as a film location and a hothouse for innovative and emerging film makers. \u00a0It is also partners with the University, Lighthouse and the Duke of York\u2019s in the new BFI audience hub which will see the city take a regional lead for developing audiences for film and bring \u00a3900k of investment over the initiative\u2019s lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Gill Sans'; font-size: small;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">At Brighton Museum &amp; Art Gallery visitors voted with their feet, with audiences at a record-breaking 266,000. A prize-winning new exhibition &#8216;World Stories: Young Voices\u2019 opened in July 2012, developed in collaboration with over 230 young people and marking the London 2012 Games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">The museum continues to break new ground in other ways too \u2013 for example, the series of \u2018Lates\u2019 where galleries open out of hours and visitors can enjoy music, quirky activities and talks. A new Spotlight Gallery opened, shedding new light on the collections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">The <strong>Royal Pavilion<\/strong> had its second busiest year since 2000, with winter offerings drawing additional audiences during the quieter season, from an exhibition on the short life and tragic death of Princess Charlotte, George IV\u2019s daughter, to contemporary commissions, such as Geraldine Pilgrim\u2019s \u2018The Lost Pagodas\u2019, and the romantic winter Ice Rink with the newly relit east fa\u00e7ade of the building as its backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\"><strong>Cllr Geoffrey Bowden,<\/strong> chair of the city\u2019s economic development and culture committee, said: \u201dBrighton &amp; Hove is, quite simply, a fabulous place for culture. We have so much home-grown talent right on our doorstep. It\u2019s a privilege to be part of the creative partnerships that are bringing in investment to support people in fulfilling their creative potential and providing opportunities for people to enjoy the city\u2019s substantial cultural offer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;\">Providing opportunities for different communities continued to thrive during 2012\/13, with <strong>Brighton Dome<\/strong> working with young people through the Youth Offending Service, Brighton Fringe hosting two new arts festivals specifically aimed at children and young people (Brighton Youth Centre\u2019s B;Fest and the Komedia\u2019s Hijack festival) and the Music Hub launched in the Dome in March.
