What projects are we currently delivering in Keighley?
Keighley Creative Presents
Keighley Creative Presents is our fun, vibrant and dynamic annual events programme, delivering large and medium scale events in Keighley and surrounding areas. We offer bespoke and dynamic events to encourage more people to come to and experience all the great things Keighley has to offer.
The Drawing Box Project
The Drawing Box Project was founded and launched in 2020, inspired by Keighley Creative founding members, artists and studio holders Naseem Darbey and Gemma Hobbs. Funded by an Arts Council England Emergency Grant during the Covid-19 crisis as a way of supporting community connection and wellbeing through creative practice. Since then it has developed beyond our wildest dreams!
Arts for Brain Health
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!

Arts and Heritage Community Project
Arts and Heritage
Lauren has worked across in partnership with many local organisations, artists and communities to explore how heritage and creativity can support community development opportunities in neighbourhoods, and develop and deliver a programme that brings arts, heritage and cultural activites directly to local people in Keighley.
