Take part in a daily online get-together open to anyone involved in arts, culture and creativity who would welcome the opportunity to talk to others about dealing with the current situation, the challenges of working from home and what we can do together to make the most of difficult circumstances.
This week there are a lot of people feeling isolated, working from home, with events and meetings being cancelled, who might welcome the chance to speak to someone else at this difficult and worrying time.
Voluntary Arts has nearly 30 years experience of remote working, working at home and supporting a distributed network of staff, freelancers and volunteers.
From Tuesday 17 March, Voluntary Arts is launching #CreativeNetwork – a daily online get-together open to anyone involved in arts, culture and creativity who would welcome the opportunity to talk to others about dealing with the current situation, the challenges of working from home and what we can do together to make the most of difficult circumstances.
They are starting this open daily Zoom gathering from Tuesday 17 March. After a brief Twitter poll to find the best time of day for this, 9:30 – 10:30am was selected.

VOLUNTARY ARTS WORK
Award winning work
The work of Voluntary Arts can be broadly categorised as follows:
- Connecting – help make alliances and partnerships, and facilitate networking between creative groups and organisations.
- Influencing – represent, lobby for and advocate on behalf of the voluntary arts sector, on a local, national and international level.
- Developing – provide information, advice, training and events to bring people together and foster new relationships and connections. They also promote the creative output of the tens of thousands of people and groups across the UK and Ireland who get creative week in, week out.
