Calling all Tameside artists & creatives! 🎨🖼️🧑‍🎨

We’re looking for talented local artists to showcase and sell their work in our new CTA CIC community centre.

🤝You keep 100% of the proceeds from anything you sell.
No commission. No percentage taken. We simply want to give local creatives a platform and help get their work seen.

We’re interested in hearing from artists, illustrators, photographers, makers and other creatives — and we’d especially love to connect with local pottery and ceramics makers/boutiques. 🏺

🙏 Please share this post to help us reach more of Tameside’s creative community, and tag/comment any local artists or makers you think we should speak to!

Local talent. Local opportunities. Stronger communities. 💛🖤

Hi everyone,
We’re working hard to open a free creative community workshop space in Droylsden, offering sessions for residents, families, schools, vulnerable groups and anyone who wants a place to learn, create or connect.

To secure the venue, our landlord has asked us to show community interest — so we’re gathering endorsements from local people who would like to use the space.

If you’d support this project or would like to attend workshops, please take 20 seconds to add your name to our form below. It makes a huge difference.

Thank you so much for helping us bring something positive to Queens Walk.
Your support genuinely matters.

CTA CIC is opening a free community workshop space in Droylsden. We are collecting endorsements from local residents to show our landlord & local council that the community wants and supports this project. If you would be interested in attending workshops, using the space, or supporting the project,...
