Creative Leicestershire supports small arts, design and media businesses in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

 We send out information to a database of around 2000 businesses locally.

This is in the form of a monthly email bulletin full of information on networking, funding, jobs, commissions, skills, places to work and training.  We also hold ongoing information on our website. 

We give one to one advice.

Our business advice and counselling is free for up to 15 hours of support.

 We provide informal training sessions

Our programme of training events and seminars focuses on creative sector issues (eg Intellectual Property, music distribution, publishing)  and some generic events on key skills (eg marketing, legal issues, financial management).

 We run networking events

Our networking events bring together small creative companies and freelancers locally to learn and meet potential collaborators.

 We manage 3 online directories of businesses

We help businesses to reach their local markets by supporting and creating showcases to do so. These are online directories, 2 of which have a printed version:

www.artslinknetwork.org.uk Directory of participatory arts & media companies

www.madeinleicestershire.org.uk Directory of visual artists and makers

 www.leicestershirecreatives.org.uk Directory of creative services for business
