Creative Heritage Studios Cic

Our mission is to deliver projects that explore how culture and commercial activity can coexist without compromising cultural quality and values. We understand the essential part that arts and culture play in society and seek to create sustainable opportunities for creativity to thrive. Old funding models are crumbling and it is our key focus to find new ways of bringing creativity to wider audiences. While also supporting creative communities to develop financial autonomy and sustainability without compromising their ethics and creative practice. We are also committed to having a positive social impact with the work that we do, our first priority is to the cultural community we are part of. However, due to our Director Corinne Lewis-Ward’s unique lived experience of working across the cultural, social impact and corporate sectors, we are passionate about facilitating positive and robust partnerships within our network. These partnerships enable us to also support the next generation of neurodiverse creatives to highlight their exceptional creativity, unique perspective and creative problem solving skills. This is done through public engagement projects and our bespoke design service Antiques of the Future. If you work within these sectors and would like to work with us on an individual project or a long-term basis please get in touch.
