Feedback from attendees at previous Creative Network sessions

I absolutely love these meetings - they always spark something in me

"I find it a complete pleasure to interact with people whose paths I wouldn't normally cross, so I always find I get out more than I put in!"

"Really great, thought-provoking discussion this morning. Wonderful to be there and hear all the views."


In March 2021, we hosted a special Creative Network event to mark one year since we started this series of online conversations. We were joined by 10 distinguished guests who shared their views and insights into the growing importance of everyday creativity in the arts sector as well as in people's lives. You can read the transcript of this session here.
