‘Salford creatives’, is the first resource of its kind to connect, support and champion creative practitioners across the city. The platform will make it easier for creative communities to discover opportunities, build networks and showcase local talent.
Developed by the Salford Culture and Place Partnership (SCPP), Salford creatives celebrates the city's flourishing cultural sector while providing practical tools, opportunities and connections to help artists, freelancers, makers, organisations and cultural leaders develop their work and reach new audiences.
The new platform brings together a creative directory, opportunities board, resources hub and sector news in one accessible space. Developed in collaboration with Salford's creative community, it has been designed to strengthen connections, increase visibility and support the long-term growth of the sector.
What is Salford Creatives?
Salford creatives is a place to find opportunities, discover talent, access resources, and connect with the people and organisations that make Salford an incredibly vibrant creative city.
Whether you're looking for funding, a studio space, your next collaborator, or just want to know what's happening – this is where you should start.
Salford has always been a city of makers. People who create, build, craft, perform, produce and invent. The Salford creatives brand is rooted in that identity. Our cultural scene is grassroots and global, with everything from eclectic independents to international institutions.
