Join the Culture Collective for a free networking event designed for anyone working in the local creative industry.
The event follows on the success of the recent Culture Collective: Creativity in Kirklees day at the Media Centre, which attracted individuals and organisations from a wide range of creative arts.
It’s free to attend and there will be complimentary refreshments on offer, thanks to Merrie England.
This is your chance to meet, chat and share ideas with individuals and organisations from a wide range of creative arts from the local area.
Culture Collective exists to represent and advocate for the cultural sector in Kirklees, by:
-Bridging the gap between cultural organisations, the local authority and other key policy makers, funders and governing bodies
-Providing opportunity for discussion, building relationships, collaboration and collective action around sector specific and place-based priorities
-Working to increase representation within the sector
-Sharing knowledge and information
What people said about Culture Collective’s last event:
“Culture Collective and days like these are really significant and important for heritage and culture and what Kirklees is trying to achieve through culture. Culture is the driving force for change.”
Qaisar Mahmood, CEO Radio Sangam
“Culture Collective and what they are doing today is something that I’ve been yearning to be in the room with for a long time. This is phenomenal. The energy in the room, the way people are engaging, the projects that are happening and the level of the projects are exactly what Huddersfield needs.”
Benaiah Matheson, artist and designer
“Today has been a show of how many people there are in this sector, how diverse they are in their artforms and their ages and what they’re doing and where they want to go. There’s so much to be proud of in Kirklees and we should champion that.”
Becky Dash, CEO Lawrence Batley Theatre
“The creative sector within Kirklees is an absolutely thriving sector. There’s lots of people employed in it, the financial value of the sector is huge. It’s the fastest growing sector in Kirklees.
