The idea
We are creative network providing a platform for all art forms to showcase, connect and share through collaboration. The first ever peer-driven creative agency.
We are our demographic, 18-25. Predominantly consisting of creative students, graduates and freelancers. We wanted to create the idea of a modern day jazz cafe. We thought, what could be done within our means to create elements of our vision on a smaller scale?
We launched our first creative networking event in December 2014 which consisted of live performances (Musicians, poets, actors), a pop up exhibition (Photography, Design, 3D Sculpture), speed networking and live collaborative art. Since the success we have continued to do these events quarterly as well as doing workshops/seminars and documenting creative processes and content throughout.
With support from UNLTD, we are now ready to facilitate the bigger vision.
What we'll deliver
- A transformed unused space in our community for creative and collaborative use
- An easily accessible creative resources, equipment, work and event space
- Encouraged peer led conversations and mentoring
- Continued and developed workshops, seminars, exhibitions, shows and networking events
- Carefully curated content documenting our creative processes during collaborative projects and live events
Why it's a great idea
After having both graduated in creative fields, we had an idea; WhyNot. We identified a problem and wanted to create a solution. WhyNot is not the question, it is the answer.
We can help people like us to transition from university into professional environments and to facilitate their ideas. Developing a peer support system via collaboration to identify individuals creative strengths. Steering young professionals and startups to their best use in a safe environment where their worth is valued and not exploited.
Through our network we will provide bespoke teams of freelance multi-disciplinary creatives to generate campaigns and projects to give insight into our ever-changing and fast paced youth lifestyle and culture.
