Redruth
KEAP is an arts education charity focussing on creative writing and literature
through the arts. We believe in the power of the written and spoken word to
transform lives. It is everyone’s right to express themselves through
creativity, curiosity and imagination. A registered charity, KEAP was founded in
2001 as an arts education agency, championing best practice and supporting
schools and artists in creating an arts rich, creative curriculum. Fast forward
to 2014, and after the funding landscape changed significantly, we took the
brave step to move from being a service organisation to being a producer. Using
our skills, experiences and literature specialism we have created unique
programmes and projects which focus on building experiences, confidence, skills
and enjoyment in writing and story. We deliver the majority of our work through
The Writers’ Block, an immersive creative writing space where we champion the
writer in everyone. The Writers’ Block opens in its new home in The Ladder
(former Passmore Edwards free library building) on Clinton Road on 28 January
2023.
