Creative Cardiff, in partnership with Monmouthshire Council, is hosting a monthly gathering for artists, businesses and creative freelancers between January - March 2024, called 'Creative Cuppa'. These informal events will bring Monmouthshire's creative community together for the all-important three Cs - connection, creativity and caffeine.
Join us for a chance to meet, connect and learn from other creatives, whether you're just starting out or have been working in the industry for decades. Each Creative Cuppa starts with a TED-style talk on a theme that is relevant across all creative sectors, followed by an informal hour to sit down, chat and eat cake! These are relaxed gatherings to meet other creatives and share opportunities.
