The New Year is a time for fresh starts, new creative energy, and meaningful connections – and for Powys’s arts and culture community, there’s no better place to begin than the StoriPowys Creative Hub.
Whether you’re an artist, freelancer, heritage professional, performer, or part of an arts organisation, the Creative Hub brings together everything you need to share your work, develop opportunities, and grow within a vibrant and supportive network. Designed especially for Powys creatives, it offers three powerful tools to help you connect, promote, and thrive.
What the Creative Hub Offers
- A Centralised What’s On Calendar
Showcase your events to residents and visitors across Powys through an easy‑to‑use online calendar. Arts organisations, museums, libraries, archives, and freelancers can submit events quickly via an online form, helping people search by location, age range, and event type. This makes it easier than ever for your audience to find what’s happening in your community.
- The Powys Creative Directory
Whether you’re looking for collaborators, want to share your skills or need artists to run workshops or deliver projects, the Creative Directory connects local creatives of all kinds. Freelancers and organisations can build a professional profile to showcase their work and discover new opportunities.
- The Creative Toolkit
The toolkit brings together valuable, curated resources to support you in running creative, cultural, or heritage activities. Find practical guidance on accessibility, event management, marketing, volunteer coordination, fundraising, and more – all in one place.
Built for Powys. Designed for Community.
Councillor Richard Church describes these tools as “valuable additions to Powys’s cultural landscape… providing freelancers and organisations with a platform to showcase their skills and connect.”
The bilingual structure ensures that every profile and event is accessible in both Welsh and English – with free translation support available via Helo Blod – helping the platform serve Powys’s communities more inclusively.
