Ryde

One element of the work we are doing at Creative Island, is to commit to convening a series of local conversations with the cultural community of each town on the Isle of Wight.

The ambition is to speak about and listen to the particular challenges and opportunities that we all face, to explore collaborative opportunities, share information and network with others.

There have been three creative events held in Ryde at the Library so far, one in October 2023, another in January 2024 and our most recent, Monday 22nd July at Ryde Library.

We invited creative practitioners, cultural leaders, town councillors and influences in Ryde, to join us in what we hope will be the start of, perhaps, twice yearly meetings designed to support the cultural community of Ryde. Keep an eye on our socials for updates on our next meetings.
