What We Do
We develop local creative networks that bring artists together to share resources, showcase work, and support each other. Starting with Chichester CAN, we are building a model of community-driven creativity that will expand across Sussex.
Through exhibitions, networking events, creative projects, and partnerships, we aim to:
- Connect artists and makers with each other and with their local communities
- Create affordable and accessible spaces for creativity
- Support professional development for creatives at every stage
- Celebrate and promote the creative talent of Sussex
OUR VISION
We are working towards a network of creative hubs throughout Sussex — places where artists can meet, collaborate, and thrive. Our aim is to connect towns and cities through creativity, beginning with Chichester CAN and soon Brighton CAN.
