BUILDING A CREATIVE COMMUNITY
Creative practice needs infrastructure.
Across Sussex, talented practitioners—artists, makers, designers, craftspeople are building meaningful work.
Too often, they're doing it in isolation.
We Are Sussex exists to change that, to create the civic structures, professional networks, and mutual support that creative practitioners deserve.
We're launching soon with opportunities to connect, develop, and grow.
Supporting creative practitioners with the infrastructure they need.
We're building a connected community for makers across Sussex—with:
A directory connecting practitioners to peers and opportunities
Professional development and business skills
A Creative Hardship Fund supporting artists in crisis
Events, mentorship, and meaningful collaboration.
We Are Sussex
Infrastructure for creative practitioners.
A new platform connecting makers, artists, and designers across Sussex. Professional development. Peer support. Real opportunities.
Launching summer 2026.
