We are inviting ideas from creative and cultural practitioners and organisations across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly to host activity and experience-led social events between November 2024 and February 2025 as part of our Creative Kernow Associates (CKA) Mixers event series.
Deadline: 5pm on Monday 7th October
About CKA Mixers
The CKA Mixer events will be playful and informal happenings, a space to connect and an opportunity for the hosts to share their work and skills.
The event can be hosted in your own space or a hired venue. Each event can feature an activity, such as working with a creative medium: music, clay, paper, dance, print, film, tech etc., or an experience, such as a private tour, a wellbeing-focused session – anything you may think of, as long as it’s fun, playful and it helps people interact with each other. The activity/experience should not last for more than two hours.
Practical Information
We are looking to fund 4 events in total initially throughout the 4 months, and we will be looking for a geographical spread as well as a variety of events. We are committed to the initial 4 events as a pilot, and hope to fund further event dependant on funding availability.
Inclusivity: We encourage you to consider the accessibility and make your event as inclusive as possible. This is not just in terms of visible disabilities, but also neurodiversity, transport access and other factors that may deter or compromise someone’s participation.
Budget: £250 for each event including fee for the host, material costs and venue (if required). Please bear this in mind when submitting your idea.
Attendance: At least 10 attendees at each event, and be open to creative and cultural practitioners of all disciplines.
Booking & Logistics: CKA will manage the publication and bookings of each event.
