We’re starting 2026 by bringing people together through our Local Creative Networks; a series of meet-ups designed to connect creatives, communities, and organisations across Ashfield.

These gatherings are open to artists, creatives, local organisers, community leaders, and anyone curious about getting involved in shaping local arts and creative activity. Each session will introduce Ashfield Creates, explore how the Local Creative Networks could develop, and spotlight the brilliant creative work already happening in our neighbourhoods.

The Local Creative Networks aim to build meaningful connections, support collaboration, and help create a self-supporting creative network that benefits local communities now and into the future.

Meet-ups are taking place across North, East, West, and South Ashfield throughout January.

Full venue details and RSVP information is available below. Spaces are limited, so please book in advance to reserve your place.
