creek creative studios
Partners and Creek Creative founding directors Anne MacLaren and Simon Giles
first discussed setting up a not-for-profit art studio complex close to
Faversham town centre in October 2006, giving rise to a long research process.
Their brainchild project was named ‘Creek Creative’ in March 2007, and
registered as a community interest company (CIC) in September 2008. A
Feasibility Report was completed in January 2009, followed by a lease agreement
for No.1 Abbey Street, Faversham from the 1st July 2009. Conversion and
renovation work started immediately, helped increasingly by local volunteers,
supporters and sympathetic traders, and by March 2010 the first resident artists
had taken up studios.
