What we do
Keighley Creative is an Arts Centre and Studio Space at the heart of the town, co-creating exciting projects and fun activities with local artists, communities, organisations and businesses in the heart of West Yorkshire.
We work together to make sure that what local people want, when it comes to creativity, culture and community, can become a reality for everyone in Keighley and beyond.
We are Keighley’s visual arts organisation and we wouldn’t exist without the support of our town. We work hard to foster an arts programme for Keighley. We want to make our town a vibrant place to visit, work and live in.
Residents in Keighley have a say about what services we provide, and we work hard to bring these ideas to life. This is how our studios, events programme, gallery, and projects have been built up, and we’re adding in new community requests all the time – like our recent addition, the Stockroom Cinema and Performance Space. It’s a collaboration. We’re in this together, so tell us what you want to make happen- we’re listening, we’re practical, and we’re imaginative. It’s a great combination!

Arts for Brain Health
Our brains are amazing. They are made up of around 86 billion nerve cells, and there are literally trillions of connections between these nerve cells which are constantly sending and receiving chemical and electrical messages. These messages control everything we do, helping us to think, feel, move, plan, learn, see, hear, smell, and solve problems, they affect our moods, our emotions, levels of energy, motivation and much, much more. The more we stimulate our brains, the more nerve connections we make and the better our brains work. Making art is fun but it’s also a workout for our brains!

Join our vision for a more creative town
We’re regularly looking for people with strong connections to Keighley, community work, social enterprise and the visual arts to join our board of trustees.
We’re keen to bring in new and under-represented voices to help us progress the work of Keighley Creative, making sure it works for our town, and all the creative people who live, work and play here!
