I Am A Creator: I Am An Artist

What is 'I Am An Artist'?

I Am An Artist is the second branch of our I Am A Creator cultural programme. I Am A Creator is funded by investment from Arts Council England, through our status as an ACE National Portfolio Organisation.

This programme will see us working with libraries across the county and targeted groups in Bassetlaw, Ashfield, Mansfield and Newark & Sherwood.

Our target groups are:

People affected by dementia
Older people
Specialist schools
Neurodivergent families
Wider public audiences, including audiences that can be/feel excluded from the arts

Inspire are working with five professional artists to develop their creative practices for these target groups; to work collaboratively and engage creatively to produce co-created artworks.

I Am An Artist Podcast

The I Am An Artst podcast discusses the outcomes from Inspire’s community arts project; I Am An Artist. During the series, Annie Warren talks to an artist or artists from the project, and also members of the Inspire team, in a bid to share valuable insights and learning gained from the project.

Discover I Am A Creator – Inspire’s exciting new programme of creative opportunities for people of all ages.
Inspired by some of the fascinating insights we uncovered as part of our ground-breaking, ACE funded, I Am A Reader project, I Am A Creator aims to bring audiences - who may not always recognise themselves as creative – together with professional writers and artists as they co-create exciting new work across a range of mediums.
