Creative UK’s East Midlands Reception
Our East Midlands Reception took place on 30 November 2022. It was incredible to see so many creatives and industry professionals at QUAD in Derby.
In the panel discussion, chaired by Vivek Malhotra CEO of QUAD, we spoke about upcoming projects including our Redesigning Freelancing survey and initiative and our annual Creative Coalition Festival. Guest speakers were: Janet Markwick, Interim MD of Creative UK, Peter Bonnell, QUAD Arts Programme Manager and FORMAT Festival Director, Filomena Rodriguez, Artist and EDI qualified coach and Keith Cox, Director of Bloc Digital.
Janet Markwick, Interim MD of Creative UK says: “At Creative UK, we support the development of creative talent and champion the role creativity plays in the UK’s culture, economy and education system. We are very grateful to QUAD for hosting our latest regional reception, which brought together a diverse range of creative people and organisations in the East Midlands. It is only through collaboration, across all regions across the UK, that we can make meaningful change, and ensure that the needs of our sector are heard.”
Vivek Malhotra QUAD CEO said “QUAD was delighted to host Reception for Creative UK, it’s the first time the event has been held in the East Midlands”
A networking social event followed the talks, with wine supplied by The English Wine Project.
