Creative Folkestone is a visionary arts charity which for over more than two decades has become a leading example of creatively led regeneration, using ambitious arts programming and place-making to enrich everyday life and open up opportunities for local people and visitors alike. The Charity has developed the Creative Quarter as a distinctive urban village of artists, makers and creative enterprises, restoring historic buildings to provide affordable studios, shops and homes and nurturing a thriving year round creative community. Creative Folkstone also operates and programmes The Quarterhouse venue, The Folkstone Book Festival, and the world-renowned Folkestone Triennial, now one of the largest exhibitions of newly commissioned public art in the UK. Through the growing Folkestone Artworks collection that animates streets, coastal paths and public spaces, Creative Folkestone has brought major contemporary artists and ideas into the fabric of the town. The charity is also the custodian of Derek Jarman's Prospect Cottage which is one of Britain's most resonant artistic homes, safeguarding its garden, archives and legacy.
