Here’s an opportunity for creatives across the Black Country to find out a little more about what is on offer from CreaTech Frontiers.

CreaTech Frontiers is the West Midlands’ new creative industries cluster — funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council — and it aims to drive the next generation of innovation in the region.

The CreaTech team want to bring together creative businesses, cultural organisations, artists, and academic experts to co-create new ideas, explore cutting-edge technologies, and build a stronger, more connected CreaTech ecosystem across the West Midlands.  In order to achieve this, they are providing grants of £5,000 and £10,000 – plus support – to help bring creative and innovative ideas to life.

CreaTech funding is available to creatives across the West Midlands to:

• Develop new ideas (up to £5k grant)
• Further develop existing innovative concepts and ideas (up to £10k grants)

We’re hosting a special online session for Black Country creatives to outline the funding and support that’s on offer for creative freelancers, microbusinesses, and small enterprises.

Join us and the CreaTech Frontiers team on 16 July to find out more about the project, the grants and support that’s available – and there will be the opportunity to ask questions too.
