CREATIVE PARTNERS
The Creative Partnership Programme at St Laurence: Stroud Centre for Peace & the Arts is a collaborative initiative designed to cultivate a vibrant, supportive network of artists, creatives, and community facilitators. Its purpose is to co-create public events, workshops, and artistic projects that explore themes of peace, faith, creativity, and community. By offering partners access to space, resources, marketing, and professional support, the programme aims to nurture meaningful, socially engaged creative work. In return, Creative Partners contribute to the life of St Laurence by producing events, sharing skills, and taking part in outreach activities.
We work with a number of local partners and organisations to deliver annual large-scale events. We are also developing an artist in residence programme, fostering connections with local Creative Practitioners to provide regular arts events in St Laurence Church and Shambles Hall.
See below for information on our current Creative Partners.
