Creative Influencers
Youth-driven community projects making arts and culture more accessible
Our Creative Influencers are a group of 13 to 17-year-olds from across Newark and Sherwood. Meeting every month at the National Civil War Centre, their goal is to make arts and heritage accessible to everyone across the district.
Their work includes planning community projects and improving the accessibility and inclusivity of the National Civil War Centre and Palace Theatre Newark.
The group also visit other arts and heritage locations across the UK, to help generate ideas and inspire change in their own community. The project is currently at full capacity. However, if you’d like to be added to our waitlist, please contact tom.cable@newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk.
So far, our Creative Influencers have:
- Helped provide free sanitary products in venue toilets
- Co-curated exhibitions in our galleries
- Volunteered over 300 hours towards community venues and events across the district
- Interviewed creative artists to better understand careers in the arts
- Planned and helped deliver the museum’s first LGBTQ
