The Kent Arts Conference (KArtsCon) is an annual event that brings together people who are interested in the arts to share their ideas, knowledge, and experience around a theme. Read more about our history.
We are delighted to announce the new theme for 2026: Starting a Conversation. Click on the image to go straight to the theme. As usual, you can spin on the theme in the manner you wish.
The call for submissions is now open. We are looking for presentations, workshops and other submissions. Don’t forget to submit entries for our Short Shorts Film Festival as well.
KArtsCon2026 will be hosted by the wonderful Medway School of Arts at their Historic Dockyard Chatham campus. As usual, we are grateful to our other partners, the Halpern Charitable Foundation and Medway Council.

2026 marks our 13th conference. We even held a fully online conference in 2020 because of the pandemic, and a hybrid one in 2021.
