Discover, Create and Connect

Whether you're picking up a paintbrush for the first time, looking to develop your artistic skills, or simply searching for a creative way to spend your day, Creative Maidstone has something for everyone.

Our year-round programme brings together local artists, makers and creative practitioners to deliver inspiring workshops, exhibitions, talks and community events in a welcoming and inclusive environment. From hands-on family activities and children's workshops to specialist masterclasses and artist-led experiences, there are countless opportunities to explore your creativity.

Workshops for Adults

Take time to learn something new, develop existing skills or simply enjoy a creative escape from everyday life. Our adult workshops cover a wide range of disciplines, including painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, textiles, crafts and wellbeing-focused creative activities.

Suitable for complete beginners through to experienced makers, sessions are led by talented local artists who are passionate about sharing their knowledge and inspiring others.

Workshops for Children and Families

Creativity starts young. Our family-friendly programme encourages children to explore, experiment and express themselves through fun, engaging activities.

From seasonal crafts and holiday workshops to hands-on art sessions and creative challenges, children can build confidence, develop new skills and discover the joy of making in a supportive environment.

Exhibitions and Artist Showcases

Experience the work of talented local artists through a changing programme of exhibitions and showcases. Discover new perspectives, explore different creative mediums and connect with the vibrant artistic community that makes Maidstone such an exciting place for culture and creativity.

Many exhibitions also include opportunities to meet the artists, learn about their practice and purchase original work.
