Solent LEP Creative Growth Programme

2023 – Solent LEP Creative Growth programme – IW Creatives Networking & Panel Discussion

This programme took place in venues across the region, including the IW. On behalf of Solent LEP, I curated and hosted this sell-out event on 26^th Jan. It included a panel discussion with invited guests, Jack Whitewood – Director of Ventnor Exchange, Jo Hummel – Visual Artist, Alys Scott-Hawkins – Artist & Arts Advisor. Exploring events and festivals, sales and marketing skills for visual artists and how to build a sustainable career in the creative sector.

I hosted this public discussion at Ventnor Exchange, created PR & marketing, ensured it was professionally audio recorded and published online for everyone to access, and arranged for 121 sessions with a creative mentor for up to x15 IW creatives receiving free creative business mentoring leading up to and after the event.
