Creative Wakefield
Developed in 2019, Creative Wakefield brings together Wakefield’s cultural and creative sector, providing a forum for connectivity as well as improved networking and collaboration across the district.
Creative Wakefield has five overarching aims: Placemaking, Visitor Economy, Wellbeing and Inclusion, Creative Skills; and Spaces and support. More detail on these can be found in the Creative Wakefield Framework (email hello@creativewakefield.net for a copy). These aims will help to drive the project over the next 3-5 years and each one is supported by several objectives and actions.
The newly established Creative Wakefield Network is an inclusive network of individuals, organisations and businesses, with a shared vision of using creativity to drive forward an outstanding quality of life for everyone, through communication, learning and shared ambition.
