Partners: Creative Fruits

Creative Fruits celebrates the diversity of all world communities that contribute their unique talent and perspectives to the creative and commercial landscape of London’s arts, craft and design industries by constantly innovating practice, production and the creative process thereby keeping the UK at the cutting-edge.

Established in 2004 by Ameena M. McConnell, Principal Director & Founder, Creative Fruits is a dynamic, non-profit organisation that sees itself as a point of entry to the career/business development opportunities for success in the creative mainstream for talented designers (includes makers and craft artisans), visual artists and Solopreneurs in the Arts and Creative Industries. We place our focus on the visual arts and design.

PASSIONATE
We are simply passionate about what we do. We aim to serve all our communities, from grassroots to mainstream, artist to entrepreneur with our expertise, professionalism, vitality and vision.

COLLABORATOR - INDUSTRY + ARTISTIC
We don’t reinvent the wheel. We add our spoke to the existing wheel. Our innovation comes from working in collaboration with industry experts, professionals, cultural leaders and organisations to develop initiatives that fill the gaps of need for our associates. We positively welcome the opportunity to collaborate with artistic individuals providing consultancy in ideas generation for projects and production for that key project they want to get off the ground.

TALENT SUPPORTER
We believe in talent and know that it needs support and guidance to attain success. Which is why we are committed to supporting our associates through knowledge acquisition so that they can better understand the balance that exists in the conversation between creative + industry. We want talent to realise their potential and achieve success that is sustainable creatively and financially. We are keen to support the needs of Solopreneurs – entrepreneurs who manage all aspects of the business side of their creativity – assisting them with access routes to connect with their peers, networks and communities of support.

FACILITATOR
We will work to break down the barriers to communication in the industry by acting as a facilitator of the dialogue between the creative with the industry and its experts bringing them together through networking and working collaboratively with key agents, organisations and experts in the Arts and Creative Industries.

NETWORK
We create the opportunity for our associates/partners to network, showcase, and exchange knowledge with their peers, the industry and Creative Fruits through our design salon – Moordesign. We can also provide the opportunity to exclusively showcase associates through our Trunk Show.

PARTNERSHIP
We embrace any opportunity to work creatively in partnership with other creative and cultural organisations as well as individuals.

INTER CULTURAL & INTERNATIONAL
We promote the visibility of our associates who come from all cultural backgrounds. We intend to spread our reach across the World.
