Invitation to The Artery Peer Support Group

The Artery’s vision is to bring more creativity more business more culture.  The Artery supports:

• Creatives to improve business skills through creative Peer2Peer programmes
• Businesses to be more creative through creative commissions and offers
• Cultural organisations to work with both as equals

Thanks to funding from York and North Yorkshire Growth Hub, we are delighted to offer a peer support programme for creative business owners in the Craven area.

The Artery Peer2Peer programme is:

• A safe space
• A collective of like-minded people
• A forum for creatives to discuss and resolve their business challenges
• A space to try out new ideas
• A place to share success
• A place of connection and support
• The group relies on active involvement and participation.
• It is a flexible group that complements business needs.

The programme comprises six in person sessions with the option of three one-hour mentoring sessions.

We use creative means to help develop your creative business. The focus is on your story of change: where your creative business is now, and where you want to be. The programme, underpinned by Action Learning, is designed to help you affect change.
