Working Class Creatives (WCC)
Working Class Creatives (WCC) is an arts organisation confronting class-based issues within creative industries. We facilitate a space that puts working-class creatives at the forefront: a space for conversation, connections, and sharing of opportunities, skills, and knowledge.
We envision a creative industry where working-class voices are equally represented, valued, and influential. Our goal is to eliminate barriers of class, ensuring that all creatives regardless of their background, have the opportunity to thrive, innovate and contribute meaningfully to the arts.

About a-n
We are the artists’ advocate. Guided by our members and advised by our Artists Council, we campaign on crucial issues, from fair pay to intellectual property, ensuring that artists’ voices are heard and shaping policy at the highest level.
Open to every artist, our inclusive, open-minded community connects members to the services and opportunities they need to thrive, empowering them to make change for the better.
We are outspoken champions of the value of artists to society because we believe artists see things differently, offering much-needed perspectives that connect us, enrich our lives and create wonder for the world.
Artsadmin
Artsadmin makes space for brilliant artists to develop and share compelling new work generating connection, hope and change in the world.
We are a charity based in east London. We’re here to make sure contemporary performance, socially engaged and live art practice in the UK is fuelled by the most exciting, genre-defying artists. We work with artists who have things to say about the world in unconventional ways, supporting them to shape their ideas and create unforgettable audience experiences.
We care about art that stirs emotion, removes barriers and encourages connection. Working locally, nationally and internationally, often in partnership and always collaboratively, we develop and present work that is direct, truthful and matters, now.
