Networking and Training Events

Arts Networking and Training Programme 2009

The Council’s new year-round programme of free arts networking and training events are suitable for both artists and arts organisations, as well as relevant community groups. We hope that the programme provides something for all, and will offer interesting and informative professional development.

Networking

Creative and Cultural Sectors

Wednesday 8 July, 6pm to 8.30pm

Small Hall, Kensington Town Hall

Research commissioned by the Council’s Arts Service in 2008 revealed that the creative and cultural sector accounts for around 15 per cent of workplace employment and nearly 30 per cent of business units in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
The evening was a special event to present the full findings of the research and to launch the new ten year plan for supporting Arts and Culture in the Royal Borough.
This networking event was a great chance for colleagues from the creative and cultural sectors in Kensington and Chelsea to meet and network with key Council contacts working to support the sector.
