Join the Forth Valley Creative Network on Friday 21st March for our next Creative Flow gathering where we bring together creatives from across the Forth Valley region to connect and share news or opportunities. There will be free coffee, tea, and fruit available for attendees. This month we're delighted to be collaborating with our friends at Stirling University Innovation Park (SUIP) and Forth Valley Chamber of Commerce.
What to expect?
Creative Flow is a casual monthly gathering of creatives who practice, work, and/or live in the Forth Valley region. A creative peer network to support, share news and opportunities with each other. When you arrive, help yourself to a cuppa and settle in, we will have a short introduction from Lynn Harris, Head of Innovation Park and Forth Valley Chamber who will introduce us to the activities of SUIP and the Forth Valley Chamber, followed by community shoutouts where you can highlight an opportunity or creative project you are working on. The rest of the morning will be blethering and connecting.
Who will be there?
Creatives of any stage, age, creative discipline, or practice. This is a safe and welcoming event for creatives alike to connect, extend their professional networks, and find out about upcoming opportunities in the Forth Valley region. Creatives can be hard to define: all are welcome, but as a guide we're expecting artists, writers, performers, designers, musicians, digital creators, studio providers, support orgs, craft makers, producers, curators, filmmakers, animators, game designers, art directors, educators, participatory creatives, workshop providers, architects, fashion, and many more. For this Creative Flow we will be mixing with the wider business community in Forth Valley through FVChamber members and SUIP residents.
