Trans Creative was founded in response to a growing demand for creative trans work with the goal of creating trans-led projects that boast trans owned narratives. It is still commonplace for transgender stories to be written and performed by cisgender artists. we want to offer an authentic voice and showcase trans led work and creatively explore these stories and nurture a confident trans community within the arts and in wider culture. Trans Creative was initially funded through Arts Council England’s Elevate Fund and partnerships with several NPO and LGBT organisations including Contact tithe Royal Exchange in Manchester . The Elevate Fund aims to increase the sustainability and resilience of arts organisations which contribute significantly to the Creative Case for Diversity.
