This month's Creative Networks event - How do artists contribute to Innovation?


Thursday 29th October 2009

For this month’s ‘Creative Networks’ – the largest and most well attended professional network in Yorkshire for the Creative, Digital and Cultural Industry sectors – attention is turned to the “worth” of artists and the wider creative community.

In the 21st century, the UK’s economic competitiveness and social wellbeing will increasingly depend on our ability to innovate. A significant part of the innovation process revolves around ‘creativity’ – the ability to generate new ideas, or to restructure and redeploy old ones.

Presenting the facts and leading the debate will be Kate Oakley, respected writer and policy analyst, who specialises in the creative industries, cultural policy and regional development.
