Thank-you for joining Trade!

Part of our vision from the beginning is  to provide  headspace for the local creative community…somewhere that ideas could be explored, challenges discussed and solutions found.

We are able to offer 6 different strands to “Trade”, you can chose what is appropriate for your creative practice.

Information on opportunities and signposting - Updated on a monthly basis, you will receive and email with the lastest opportunities for the creative sector, funding, training, exhibitions and other opportunities.

The Trade Blog and regular emails with updates - a place for us to share anything we think is interesting and possible a few podcasts.

The Boom Academy - a space where you can actively dedicate time to developing your creative practice through a structured 12 month programme of professional development, support and peer-to-peer learning. From September 1st 2023, delivered online and in real life, we will release monthly themes.

Website Club - As part of the Boom Academy we will be running a website club. In January/February 2024 you can join for 6 weeks of training and support to get your creative practice online, by the end of the six weeks you will have a website that you will be able to manage. This will continue through the year with check-ins and meet-ups.

Co-Working Sessions and Hot Desking - Weekly Co-working sessions with your fellow creatives and reduced rates on our hot-desks. A great opportunity to get motivated to those ‘frog-jobs” includes plenty of tea & coffee and caramel squares.
