bringing voices together

Whether supporting neurodiverse artists; fighting for accessibility; amplifying artists from marginalised backgrounds; or supporting emerging artists of all ages, our wonderful Trustees and Members choose what they are most passionate about to focus on. All out work is led by the Trustees, team, and our growing membership. It is this collective inspiration that inspires and fuels us.

We are thrilled to share the exciting news that Creatives Unlimited III is under development right now! We can’t wait to share the details with you all very soon. But before we do that, have you heard about our Creatives Unlimited programme? Here’s some information about it…

Creatives Unlimited was the first incarnation of our programme designed to help support and develop our region’s creative sector. We are proud of what we achieved, particularly while we were all online and unable to meet up in person! And we fully acknowledge, the best lessons for the future can be learned from the past, so we have taken a close look at all we learned while delivering Creatives Unlimited I and II and all we accomplished together. It will all inform our thinking as we develop new programmes in the future.

We began Creatives Unlimited with the intention of ensuring the sustainability and resilience of Dumfries and Galloway’s cultural and creative communities. After consulting with our colleagues and friends, we embarked on a region-wide programme of support, training, mentorship, and guidance. We travelled throughout Scotland and beyond to see how arts organisations do what they do on a national, and even international scale.

We supported our Creatives in the development of robust professional networks. There’s a lot of accompanying creative industry jargon that makes this sound really enticing to official circles – but suffice to say, we made some brilliant friends during the project, and some even better creative leaders. Three of our fabulous Trustees are Creatives Unlimited alumni, one went on to assume a role on the DG Unlimited team before moving on to pastures new in Glasgow, and one is now leading the book festival in Dubai!

Keep an eye on our socials for announcements on when we open for applications.
