Creative Breakfast with Doncopolitan

For Creative Breakfast this spring, we’re welcoming guest speakers who have transformed their city streets, disused high street shops and public spaces with creativity, ambition and a DIY spirit.

For the second session, we’re welcoming Rachel Horne, the artistic director and co-founder of Doncopolitan, an arts and culture magazine created to celebrate the cultural events happening in Doncaster. Rachel is also one half of Horne and Draper, a cultural change agency which is rebranding and rebuilding Doncaster from the ground up.

Rachel’s approach to art is rooted in encouraging, developing and celebrating creativity which already exists – but which is not always recognised.

Brigantia’s monthly Creative Breakfast aims to facilitate conversations on how creativity can benefit our area and improve the lives of those who live and work in Dewsbury and the surrounding area.

You don’t have to be an artist or business owner to come along, but you’ll get to meet likeminded people, share ideas, learn – or just listen to conversations about creativity with a coffee and croissant.
