What we do
CMC aims to support a united, sustainable, independent voice for Croydon’s creative sector that is mutually supportive, focusing on:
Connecting
Creating opportunities for creatives to meet, be together & collaborate.
Sharing
Sharing resources, knowledge and solidarity to ensure creativity has what it needs to survive & thrive.
Signposting
Ensuring our community know about each other, events & opportunities.
Upskilling
Supporting our community to collectively develop skills we need to succeed & innovate.
We do this through:
Gatherings
Be together!
Opportunity to spend time together was the key thing our community wanted. Gatherings aim to do this!
Collaborate
Gatherings aim to nurture connection, trust, sharing, collaboration & solidarity within an informal environment.
Creative opportunities
We commission members to shape, showcase and lead activity at Gatherings.
Boring Club
Admin: sorted!
If the thought of taxes make you tremble, budgets break you down or funding fills you with fear, Boring Club is here!
Monthly meetup
Boring Club is a monthly meetup every 3rd Monday morning, for members to get stuff done in solidarity.
