CVAN South East is a dynamic and collaborative brand that forms part of the Contemporary Visual Arts Network (CVAN), a network of regional networks in England. As one of the nine regional networks, CVAN South East is committed to strengthening the visual arts sector in the region by working in partnership on strategic projects and programs. Managed by Modern Art Oxford, CVAN South East aims to maximize expertise and creative thinking by sharing learning and information.

The network is dedicated to the development of critically engaged art practice and promoting a thriving visual arts ecology that involves various stakeholders, including artists, art professionals, local government, higher education, and the non-profit and commercial sectors. Noteworthy is their Platform Graduate Award program, managed since 2012. Supported by Arts Council England, CVAN South East welcomes artists and organizations to get involved, offering the latest news, events, jobs, and opportunities through their website and monthly newsletter.

They also host events and encourage artists to submit stories, event listings, and opportunities. For comprehensive listings of visual arts exhibitions and events in the region, they recommend South East Coast Art Map, ArtRabbit, and Arts News. With their rich history as formerly Turning Point South East (TPSE), CVAN South East plays a vital role in advocating for integrated planning and investment for the visual arts in the region.
