A CREATIVE COMMUNITY

A Community-led Arts & Culture Centre
for Social Change

Creatives Now provides a welcoming, non-commercial space for artists, collectives and not-for-profit organisations to deliver activities that use arts, culture and shared experiences to support community wellbeing in Bolton. The space is designed to enable creative practice that brings people together, whether through workshops, exhibitions, or informal gatherings, fostering connection, learning and positive social impact through accessible cultural activity.

We encourage collaborative and community-facing use of the space, with flexible and bespoke arrangements available for partners. These may include skill-sharing models, such as delivering workshops or contributing to the wider programme, in place of standard hire fees, as well as tailored agreements based on frequency of use and shared objectives.

All activity should align with a not-for-profit ethos, prioritising inclusive participation, creativity, and community benefit.

To get involved, we warmly invite you to access and complete our application form to become part of the Creatives Now community.
