Providing affordable facilities for artists, designers, craftspeople
& creative businesses in Faversham town centre, Kent.
The 'Creek Creative' initiative aims to form a productive, commercially-viable, art and design community within Faversham
town centre,
by providing affordable multi-unit studios, workshops, public exhibition space, and extended facilities, to meet an identified local demand.
Creek Creative (CIC) aims to meet the needs of local creative practitioners, across a significant range of specialist disciplines
and crafts,
by facilitating complementary activities such as shared resources and economies of scale. The CC site is intended as a focus point for
innovators, to include established professional and part-time artists, designers, multimedia technicians, craft-specialists, inventors,
photographers, musicians, performers, and those individuals who simply wish to develop their creativity in a vibrant studio environment.
It is fundamental to CC that creativity is also nurtured through the development of on-site, educational programmes,
providing
life-long
learning and training potential, which can be made available to local individuals, schools and industry, according to demand. The
communication
and display of work is vital to the creative process: this CC objective is to be accommodated
by a publicly-accessible,
interactive
gallery and performance space, on the Faversham site, in addition to the global-networking potential of digital platforms on the web.
Faversham is a unique town with a long history of Creek-based activity: the CC initiative intends to continue this tradition in a culturally
beneficial and contemporary fashion, potentially providing quality employment opportunities, and a desirable boost to local productivity.
Creek Creative is a registered Community Interest Company (CIC).
