Creative ways to connect during lockdown
A few weeks ago, we launched a callout to artists and makers to submit their ideas to create work that could respond to, and connect individuals and communities across Gloucestershire in this time of crisis. We narrowed down the applications to these 8 talented artists who have each designed a project which will encourage new and uplifting ways for people to connect.
Getting started in the creative and cultural sector
Create Gloucestershire was fortunate to be involved in an life changing initiative, the Creative Employment Programme which supported 40 young people as paid interns and apprentices in 20 different creative organisations/SME’s in taking their first step into working in the creative sector. Of those 40 young people, over half of them were kept on by their employer or moved on to further study.
