Creative Hub: Learning, collaboration and inspiration for creative businesses

 

 

Learning, collaboration and inspiration for creative businesses

 

What started in a coffee shop in Fiveways has grown to host some of Brighton and Hove’s most exciting talents in the creative industry. We’ve learned how to price our art, combat the plagiarists and protect our copyright, we’ve been inspired by arctic sea voyages, instagram mavens, sky-diving jewellers and crazy mad ideas that turn into brilliant businesses. 

 

We’ve met people who help, inspire, collaborate and give advice honed from their experience.  We’ve shared knowledge that makes us better at what we do and helps get us through the fallow periods.

 

Creative Hub celebrates our future-savvy, ideas-driven and creativity-enhancing city and the musicians, artists, makers, writers, designers, illustrators and coaches who make it.

 

This newsletter sums up what you might have missed and what we’re looking forward to. If you have ideas, would like to speak at a meeting, or meet someone in particular whom you think can be a part of your creative journey, come and talk to us [LINK]
