Creative Craven Network
Are you a creative practitioner or cultural organisation in the Craven area? Would you like to be part of an exciting new Creative Network for the district?
What is the Creative Craven Network?
The aim of the Creative Craven Network is to establish a connected and supportive creative community in Craven for the benefit of all it’s members. The activities of the network will be shaped by the group.
The network is open to creative students, practitioners, and cultural organisations across all art forms, who live/work/study in the Craven area – or have a connection to the area.
The network is facilitated by the North Yorkshire Council Cultural Services Team in partnership with the Great Place: Lakes & Dales programme.
Creative Network Meetings
The new Creative Craven Network (CCN), which launched at the beginning of 2023, continues to provide relaxed spaces and interactive sessions for creative practitioners and other cultural organisations from across the region. Recent meetings have included a bob up session in the district and our first digital session in the autumn. This format reflects the learning priorities agreed by CCN members earlier in the year.
It has been great to meet or reconnect with creative practitioners and other cultural organisations from across the region and we will be holding more sessions throughout 2024. If you are interested in getting involved please email arts.cra@northyorks.gov.uk
