Grassroots Creativity

We’ve been hearing from groups involved in everything from crafts, music and dance to gardening, writing and performance. It’s been inspiring to discover the many ways people across the Island are expressing their creativity, sharing skills, bringing communities together and creating opportunities for connection. 

Our conversations with these groups will help inform our actions going forward, so we can champion all the creative endeavours on our Island. We have an ambition to bring to light the hundreds of groups that exist independently, and make sure we support them so they can keep thriving. 

Involved in a group that you think we should hear from? Drop a message to liv@creativeisland.org or sandy@creativeisland.org and we will be in contact!
