To start off the Creative Enterprise Zone Programme, funded by Brent Council in partnership with Artist Studio Company, upcoming workshops are being offered for Brent-based creatives. These workshops are designed to help you find new opportunities, overcome career challenges, and build your creative networks. Open to Brent residents with an emerging or established creative practice or small business, including (but not limited to) freelancers, sole traders, and creative business teams.

Take time to grow, improve, and focus on your creative work or business.

More on the 2025/26 Creative Enterprise Programme

As these workshops are part of a wider business support programme, there will be further opportunities to have online follow-up sessions to help you stay on track and help you implement wanted changes to grow and improve your creative business/ practice and network. These sessions will support the goals you set during the workshops and help with any new challenges.
