Everyone is Creative! This group is for both Artists and Creatives to come together and support one another; to be a Community of Creatives.
We have Monthly Meetups on the First Friday of each month, at which we can meet other Artists and Creatives to talk about art, connect with one another and make long lasting friendships. At each Meetup we have a different Topic Artist to introduce the theme for discussion.
We have a Poetry Picnic on the First Saturday of July each year and an Art Fair on the First Saturday of December each year. Keep an eye on social media for details.
Occasionally, we host online gatherings over Zoom, entitled Create with Company. These gatherings allow and encourage individuals to create anything they want in the safety of their own homes while having some company. This is also a casual no-pressure-to-talk space, so one can keep themselves on mute if they just want company without participating in conversation.
We are presently seeking funding for a space in which our Community of Artists and Creatives can develop and grow. If you would like to support this dream, send a donation to Róisín’s Paypal with ‘Creative Collective Community’ in the message. If anyone has a space in which we can realise this dream, contact Róisín.
Each member is welcome to initiate group outings; to events, exhibitions, performances, concerts, plays, etc. Whether you’re a featuring artist or interested in going to an event, we are here to support you.
We are here to encourage each other to pursue our individual creativity and support one another if one asks for constructive critical feedback.
If you would like to join our Community, request to join our Facebook group Creative Collective Community.
Creative Collective was originally founded by the late Jim Pettit in 2012, and currently facilitated by Róisín Anne Jenkinson

Mama Say Make I Dey Go, She Dey My Back
12 May 2017
Jelili Atiku created this performance and movement for La Biennale di Venezia 2017, which integrated the intersection of processional rituals, fashion, mystical and abstract sound, and rituals with natural resources and objects. It was created to direct attention to the potency of feminine energy, body ritual and ontology so as to serve as a point of reasoning and catalysts to our utopia. The focus is to create discourses on re-thinking on the essence of women to the wellbeing of humanity and activate a shift in consciousness towards the direction and adoption of the values of feminine energy. It believes that enhancement of feminine energy and freedom of women would release the power of human development, peace, harmony and creative energies in the world. Róisín was one of the 72 women who participated.
