A key strand of The Creative Village was local showcasing. A place to showcase the creative talents of local professionals.
We invited artists of national significance to work alongside local and regional emerging artists to present their work in Crawley to inspire local people.
We commissioned new work:
Sarah Maple and Meg Mosely’s Breakfast Scene
Lonny Chauhan’s Figures of Fragility
Carys Tupper’s Gestures of Anatomy (Still Life)
Karl Singporewala’s Rubato (2025)
Tort Robinson’s Who Cares?
And a series of new works by the Skills Exchange Cohort as part of a showcase in April 2025
And we hosted a regular showcase event hosted by local poet Woodzy called Woodzy & Friends:
