Chichester Creatives Monthly Meetup

Chichester Creatives Monthly Meetup

Our Creative Meetups are a space for local creatives to connect, share and support one another.

We welcome artists, makers, designers, writers, performers, photographers, freelancers and anyone working creatively — at any stage of their journey.

Whether you're looking for creative inspiration, practical advice, new connections or simply a friendly chat with like-minded people, our meetups are about building a supportive and collaborative local creative community.

How the meetup works

We have recently changed the format to make it easier for everyone to meet more people and have more meaningful conversations.

We will start with a short welcome and Chichester CAN update of no more than five minutes, followed by our five-minute guest spotlight.

This month, Elisabetta Coccia will be introducing the William Blake community art project and inviting local artists to get involved. She'll share plans for a creative session where participants will create decorated tiles that will eventually form part of the base of a new public sculpture celebrating William Blake.

Then it's over to you!

You'll join a small table of around four people and have 15 minutes together to introduce yourselves, talk about what you're working on and, importantly, share anything you'd like help, advice or connections with.

We'll then switch tables and do it again, giving you the opportunity to meet both familiar faces and new people during the evening.

There is no pressure to stand up and pitch yourself to the whole room. The idea is to keep things relaxed and informal while making it easier to have useful conversations and leave having genuinely connected with more people.

Afterwards, you're very welcome to stay, continue any conversations you've started, or join A Creative Space Chi from 6.30pm.

Free to attend — please book your place so we know who's joining us.
