Creative Kernow delivers support through programmes which have potential to touch everyone’s lives.

We offer affordable managed workspace, a creative hub, skills and business development, and a rural touring scheme.

We invest in creative projects which bring together professional artists and our communities, help the culture and tourism sectors to work more closely together, support young people with entering the creative workforce, embark on international partnerships, and much more.

Our programmes fall into three dynamically overlapping areas: Creative Communities, Creative Economy Support and Creative Hub Development.
