DISCOVER CREATIVE MAIDSTONE COMMUNITY ARTS HUB
A diverse programme of art and craft workshops for all ages and abilities
A vibrant new chapter in Maidstone’s creative story began in July with the opening of the Creative Maidstone Community Arts Hub (@creativemaidstone): a welcoming space designed to inspire makers, support local talent and bring people together through the joy of creativity.
More than just a building, the Hub is a celebration of everything that happens when art, community and opportunity meet.
At the heart of the Hub is a diverse programme of art and craft workshops for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re a curious beginner, a seasoned maker or simply looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, there’s a class to spark your imagination. From painting and collage to textiles, printmaking and family-friendly creative sessions, the Hub encourages everyone to get hands-on and discover new skills.
Supporting local artists is a key mission, and the Hub’s dedicated retail zone puts their work front and centre. Here, visitors can browse and buy beautifully-crafted products made right here in the community. It’s the perfect place to find a unique gift, support independent makers or treat yourself to something special.
The exhibition area gives emerging and established artists a professional platform to showcase their work, ensuring there is always something new to explore. Rotating shows promise a dynamic calendar of visual arts, inviting visitors to engage with fresh perspectives and diverse creative voices throughout the year.
For artists seeking a place to develop their practice, the Hub also offers studio spaces available for hire. These affordable studios provide a supportive environment where creativity can thrive, fostering collaboration and helping artists take their work to the next level.
Creative Maidstone is more than an arts centre; it’s a shared home for creativity, learning and connection. Step inside, get involved and help shape a vibrant creative future for everyone.
