One participant shared: "The knowledge I gained during the course has started me in the process of planning my future with a greater awareness of the creative market in Scotland."

What a wonderful evening last week! 💫 Thank you to all our members who came along to "An Evening with Creative Edinburgh". Over drinks and nibbles, we explored the big questions: What makes a space feel truly inclusive? What should creative networking look and feel like? What prevents people from showing up? Rather than a traditional discussion, members moved between themed tables, sharing their thoughts through writing, drawing and creative responses. Their voices and perspectives will directly shape how we build our programme for the year ahead. These evenings are exclusively for Creative Edinburgh members. If you'd like to join future gatherings, sign up as a Free Member via the link in bio to stay in the loop! #CreativeEdinburgh #CreativeCommunity #Edinburgh #Networking #MemberEvent #InclusiveSpaces
