Supporting emerging and established local creative networks as enablers for sustainable creative communities in Scotland.
We’re delighted to invite applications for Create:Networks 2024/25 – a fund to help groups, organisations and creative practitioners build local creative networks as enablers for sustainable creative communities in Scotland.
Networks weave vital webs of connection, strengthening the collective through mutual support, skill sharing and knowledge exchange. Often informal and grown from grassroots, these communities provide space to gather together, find momentum, face challenges, share values and demystify processes. Creative networks benefit from local as well as industry knowledge, centring collaboration over going it alone – and strengthening not just active community participants but our places and the wider creative ecosystem, too.
The Create:Networks fund will resource both new and established local creative networks to build, grow and sustain themselves, alongside accessing peer-sharing and network development support. Each network will develop a 12-month programme of activities that will enable creative practitioners and businesses to establish greater sustainability through connections, opportunities and exchange – channelling the support of the fund further throughout creative communities across Scotland.
This fund is open to groups and organisations based in Scotland. Applicants must be able to make a clear and compelling proposal outlining how they will aim to build and grow a local creative network that will support creative practitioners and businesses in developing sustainable practices.
